Blackadder Raw Cask Blairfindy 1992

This item is archived.

Bottled under Blackadder's Raw Cask line, which only very roughly screens its whisky before bottling, leaving bits of barrel char to find their way into the bottle. Blairfindy is code for Glenfarclas, and this 26 year old, distilled in 1992 has been bottled at 51.6%. Exclusive to KWM in Canada. Limit 2 per customer!

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: deep, dark, earthy and nutty; musty oak casks in a dunnage warehouse, espresso bean and woody spices; fennel, clove and pink peppercorns; dark chocolate, Christmas cake, candied fruits and nuts.

Palate: earthy, spicy and big on candied fruit and Christmas cake notes; the clove and fennel are still there along with candied ginger and orange peel; oily and nutty, Nocillo walnut liqueur; leathery with fruity tobacco and dark chocolate espresso beans; softer and more exotic fruits emerge with time.

Finish: long, coating, spicy and very oily; more Christmas cake, chocolate and espresso beans; a classic nutty Oloroso sherry style Glenfarclas.

Comment: 26 year old heavily sherried Glenfarclas? Yes please! This is a dry-sherry style, with loads of spices and earthy tones; but there is still fruit, Christmas cake and a touch of elegance and delicacy beneath!
