Product description
The name Glenforres may not sound familiar to many but after reading the label carefully some ideas are coming to mind. We know the whisky was bottled some time in the 1980s by William Whiteley & Co., Pitlochry Scotland.
Well, back in 1922 William Whiteley purchased Edradour Distillery (located in Pitlochry) and changed its name to Glenforres. His company held distilling license until the late 1980s when was acquired by Campbell Distillers, subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. That part was easy, the difficult one is a statement ‘All Highland malt Scotch whisky’, which could be interpreted as ‘single malt’ or ‘blended malt’ by the 1980s standards.
Nose: malty and nutty, forest floor, old hay barn, cherries, apples, dried flowers, beeswax, hints of oak and wood polish.
Palate: strong malty notes, walnuts, oranges, touch of grapefruit, toffee, oak tannins, green tea and dash of pepper.
Finish: medium long, nutty with pretty strong oaky notes.
