Glenfarclas 105 is a cask-strength Speyside single malt bottled at 120 proof, named for the old 105 imperial proof measure. It is matured in oloroso sherry casks, so the profile runs to dark caramel, plum pudding, sherry, dark chocolate and a sweet oak-and-toffee finish. It suits drinkers who like big, sherried whisky and don't mind adding water to tame it. Against sherry-cask rivals it is a straightforward, heavily sherried dram rather than a delicate one, and its high strength means a bottle goes further than a 40% malt.
