Glenfarclas, The Family Casks, 1991-2017, Sherry Butt Number 209, 570 bottles, 57.0% abv.

Nose: light bodied, a sweeter honeyed sherry, actually more like smashed raisins with honey. Adding water turns it into worchester sauce.

Palate: initial palate is a little bit of honey, generally sour, mid palate has light green grapes but transforms to old expired sherry or very light wet old steamed lotus leaves/expired sherry, back palate has wet old steamed lotus leaves/expired sherry, hints of wood.

Finish: medium, light wet old steamed lotus leaves/expired sherry, dry wood, earthy, viney, tobacco-ish residue.

Seems like a very young or youthful sherry forward dram. Flavors are strong, but not very good. Strange one.

Grade: B
