Thanks for visiting us again here at the RGGTW blog - yes, we have our own trademarked 5 letter acronym now, and we are so proud! Perhaps someday we will come up with a cool logo and start selling t-shirts. Or perhaps not...
This go-around we are checking out the Glenfarclas 12 year old Scotch. Lance picked this up on sale recently so that we could check it out here on the blog. We had never heard of it before but hey, we are always willing to check out new stuff so we decided to fire it up.
Turns out that this is still an independent, family run distillery in Scotland. Cool! These days, so many distilleries and wineries are owned by mega-corps that it is refreshing to come across an independent company making a go of it. We tasted one of their whiskys near the low-end of their offerings, the 12-year single malt, It is finished in sherry casks, as is the tendency at many distilleries these days.
On their website, they mention that they 12 year Scotch is "Bottled for export and travel retail markets". This means that they are either saving the best for themselves in the UK or they are sending us their best stuff.
Watch our review video here and you will get a pretty good idea which we think it is. Slainte!
