On the palate, Glenfarclas 12 Year Old reveals layers of dried fruit, honeyed malt, and subtle spice with a gentle hint of oak.

This single malt pairs beautifully with roast lamb, where its sweetness complements savory flavors, or alongside blue cheese for a delightful contrast between creamy tang and whisky warmth.
