Glenfarclas 1966-2010, 43yo, 42.9% – The Ultimate
Well, technically I can’t call this Glenfarclas, since the label states ‘Mystery Speyside’. On the other hand, when something like that is on the label everybody knows what’s going on. Usually, if you order a bottle like this, on the … Continue reading
