Nose:
Lime twists and toasted almonds. Honey glazed leg ham and stone fruits. The nose conveys a typical refill Sherry influence and is not overly complex at all.
Palate & Finish:
In contrast to the lighter notes on the nose, the delivery oozes of caramel. Molten white chocolate with plenty of barley sugar and a splash of spices and minerals as the raisin sweetness is laid out.
The finishing is simple and non-challenging, with a hint of vanilla sugar.
Thoughts:
It’s important for me to bear in mind that this series is really aimed at introducing Glenfarclas to the German market at an affordable rate. The Springs is a much sweeter iteration on the palate of the three, a reflection of consumer preference perhaps.
