Darren, sounds like a real nice dram. A little pricey at $287. equivalent Canadian but since the Glenfarclas 105 without age statement is so great, this one must be superb.
Very Happy

Blackadder, I'd be right in line behind you waiting for a dram.

If you like the standard 105 which I do, you will love the 20/40 offerings, I tried the 20 followed by the 40 last October at The Whisky Exchange Show London, ordered the 20 x 2 on my return home, can't afford the 40 or would have bought 2 x 2.
both are 9.5/10 for me.

Yes at 850 pounds equivalent it's as we say here in Canada: "Too deep for my pockets, eh!"

Not tried the 40yr old, and at 850 a bottle, nor an I likely to in a hurry.

I did try the 20yr old at last years whisky fringe up in Edinburgh, I have to say that I was most impressed with it, stood up well at an even like the whisky fringe because of its big flavours and strength.

That is quite something! I love the regular 105 so the thought just makes my mouth water.

I would guess it wasnt put into the cask at the industry standard strength which if i remember correctly is 63.5% or there abouts.
