GFC prices went up 1-2 years ago, +60-100$ in no time at all : I still have a GFC open at all time : but will not keep too many spare. Maestro Jim, u da mon, for considering GG as alternative . . . (always LOVE this section). Great vid.
Love Glenfarclas, especially the 15 at 46% but also the 21 and 25 which I picked up when they were just over £100 a bottle. Direct fire stills and a superb tasting room, fantastic staff and beautiful distillery to visit and tour. An under the radar distillery unless you know...!
Hi Jim haven’t had the 12 for a number of years but at around €50 for a litre bottle it’s a pretty good price. What does Alan (the whisky friend) call the Glenfarclas 12, “ the dangerous dram “. Was pretty disappointed with my last two offerings of Glenfarclas though . Enjoyed your review Jim Slàinte 🥃.
Thanks for shining a light on Glenfarclas, Jim. Been a while that I've had the 12yo and am not hurrying to buy another bottle. Has all to do with my preferences: I do prefer bourbon matured. For those that do like sherry matured whisky, Glenfarclas definately worth checking out and not only because Glenfarclas is more friendly to your wallet than a lot of other sherry matured whiskies. (Just checked: in NL I found a litre under €40 ...) Slàinte mhath
Great review Jim I have tried it and it just doesn't grab me. BTW McIntyres Malts has just reviewed the 15 YO and it is surprising how close your reviews are to each other.
Nice to see you not (sort of) almost choking on a 12 yo, Jim :) I had a bottle of this uhm 6-7 years ago, don't remember much about it, I have to admit other than me thinking it was "decent". It was before my whisky journey started, so no wonder that I don't remember a lot about it. Since then, I've only had the 15 and 21 yo. Cheers, enjoyed watching you actually enjoy the whisky at display 😊🥃
@@bennyfriis601 cheers Benny. I don't dislike all whisky but...given the comments I've had on this review, I'm starting to think I come across as someone who dislikes all whiskies 😄😄 In fairness..."decent" sums this up well. I wouldn't replace it but, I will enjoy my time with it.
@@WhiskeyNovice Nah, it's not that bad 😅 I don't see you as "he who dislikes all whiskies" - I just recognize (and appreciate) that you have "taken one for the team" quite a few times, even if it has been voluntarily.

Still have a few bottles of the 105, which I really enjoy, have not come across the 12 year old in my area.

There's another big brand whisky I haven't bought any expression from. Cheers Jim 🥃👍
@@neillaverty9881 one day mate 😄😄. Cheers.
Just recently reviewed the 15 and had a similar experience to you mate. The casks are too tired IMO.
