Community Tasting Note

Homer Holland Likes this wine:

Tuesday, January 23, 2018 - J&G Grant, Glenfarclas, 105, Cask Strength, Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 60%Abv.
OB
NAS (it is said to be a blend of approx. 8 to 20 years old whisky's)
Uncolored
Non-chillfiltered
Cask Strength
On back-label G8344 = ? (I could not find a lot. no.)
EAN 5018066105015
1 Litre
105 = 105 proof = 60%Abv (sometimes bottlers dilute a cask strength bottling to a lesser degree, such as to 60%Abv.)
Glenfarclas 105 was launched in 1968 and was originally hand-filled from the cask and distributed to employees and friends of the distillery as a Christmas present.

See my earlier TN.
For € 30 to 33 for 1 Litre QPR=9 !
S=87 R=9(30-33) 1/23/18

Compared to the Amrut Distilleries, Indian Single Malt Whisky, Aged in Oak Barrels, Cask Strength, Bottled 12.2015, Batch No. 70, 61.8 % Vol., On back label: B.No.70, DEC-2015.
The 105 more malty, somewhat more complex and length, more elegant, less woody and tannins.
But, I like the uniqueness, the rustic style, the roughness and the tannins of the Amrut more.
However I like the 105 too and it is a standard whisky for me and is a steal for € 30 to 32 for 1 Litre.
