Had a dram of this 30 YO Glenfarclas tonight. Your review is dead on Ralfy. I worked with it for two hours. Insane depth, flavors everywhere, unbelievable finish. I give it a 96/100...wow is this a great single malt. Thanks Ralfy!!!
I was just enjoying a glass of Aberlour 10y when I was wondering when the second part of review 200 would be online when I saw it was. Your reviews are very usefull ralfy and they have helped me a lot learning more about whisky and finding my way to new whiskys. Im still quite new at drinking whisky but my collection is growing and Im enjoying it more and more. So thanks from the netherlands and keep the reviews comming!
Now in 2022 the Glenfarclas 30 costs around 450 euro (in Holland).... I hope you bought a few bottles back in 2011 Ralfy !
Congratulations Ralfy on 200 reviews! I've been following your reviews intently and always look forward to your upcoming reviews and marks. All the best mate from Melbourne, Australia.
Hey ralfy, glad to see you reach 200 vids. I just sample my first single malt a couple days ago, thanks to your videos I knew exactly what i was doing and enjoyed every minute of it. It was a McClelland Single malt Highland, good for entry level. Can/t wait to move on to the real stuff. Looking forward to more vids from you now that I have officially entered the world of single malts
Congratulations on 200! I've seen all 40 hours (wow that's a lot!), and I'm still unbelievably entertained by your videos. Another great review, and I can't wait for 300! I completely give credit to you for my fascination and knowledge of Whisky, as well as any other liquor you have reviewed. My small collection is growing, and hopefully I'll have a collection close to yours one day. Thanks Ralfy.
Thanks for all the reviews Ralfy! I've learned a lot from your videos... Congrats on the 200 reviews and greetings from Argentina!!!
@ralfystuff - thanks a lot for your advice for the glenfarclas 25y. hopefully i can try it at the whiskyschiff in zurich begin of december.
@ralfystuff Ralfy! I consider myself an experienced drinker...I've had great ups and downs. I've been going through some hang-ups and have been drifting here and there. I enjoy few things and your uploads about fine drink is one of them. I was on the brink of alcoholism once again....but with your reviews and enthusiasm I've come to an 'agreement' with the ol' drink.
Thank you, my friend in malt.
I know what I will be wanting for christmas this year. Kindest regards from a humble novice, take care.
@Taylor314T5 In my opinion, the Abelour 10yo is a good value for money, entry-level sherry Speysider. It has quite a pronounced sweet sherry note, which will benefit your whisky education. If find you like sherry influence of the 10yo then you'll definitely like the cask strength Aberlour A'bunadh - a very good, consistant and highly recommended whisky.
Hi Ralfy,
congrats for 200 awesome whisky reviews! Your episodes became pretty significant for nearly every whisky fan. Great job! I hope you keep doing your reviews for a while. Let's go for another 200 :).
Oh, and btw: I was wondering, if you could recommend some "Summer" Whiskies.
Keep up the good work!
Hmmm
You say people should ask or read in forums what is a good whisky.
But in the forums everyone has different taste and favourites.
I dont say you are wrong, but personally i like most whiskys and enjoy the differences.
My recommendation?
Trust Ralfy but dare to try what ever you can afford.
From what I have tasted an older Jura is a superb whisky fx.
Mmmmm
Love it
The Glenfarclas range is a great example of how a cask can naturally influence colour. Move from the 10 to the 30 and see the drastic difference.
Yes.... may be.
Loving the Fez, congrats on the milestone
@ralfystuff I thought that was coming from outside! Theres a peacock that likes to squawk right as I'm trying to sleep. How convenient.
Hi Ralfy.
Congrats with your 200 rewiews.
I have another special whisky from Glen Farclas.
It is called Nelg Salgraf. :-)
It is a single cask bottling from cask number 1373, distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2008 at 46 %.
A superb Speyside whisky. And to only 25 £.
Have you ever tasted it?
@Taylor314T5 like crthebigo said I certainly think it's good value for money. I personaly enjoyed it's warm sherry and toffee taste, so I would recommend it. A friend of mine has bought the A'bunadh as well, and that's quite an experience...it gives a really intense feeling through your entire mouth, it's more expensive than the 10y but then again it's botteled at allmost 61%.
@marcuz1989 thanks for the input, i have the a'bunadh just waiting for a special occasion.
Ralfy this person you phoned about the consistincies of the 30 year old being sorted out must work for the glenfarclas promotion dept or something. I bought a bottle about the time of this review and thought was a magnificent malt. However the one I bought last week is not just subtley different but almost unrecognisable from the previous bottle - the dip in quality and is shocking. Why cant a distillery with all their vast amount of stock keep on top of the consistincey?
Hi Ralfy. Any chance you'll be reviewing the 21 YO? A bit more affordable than the 30 YO, at least for me.
Discipline eh! Maybe that's my problem! I buy, open, and then have loads of bottle on the go. Maybe we could try a malt marshmallow test. I'd have my mouth all over the bottle by the time the researcher came back with my second whisky!
Yeah I might do that but to be honest I dont think they are going to care that much . What annoys me more than anything is that the official tasting notes on the 30 Year will remain the same year in year out while the whisky can change beyond recognition. Surely someone at the distillery is aware of the inconsistency and can make more of an effort keeping the customers informed of batch variations with some relevant tasting notes - especially when they are charging a lot of money
This is off this particular topic but I got curious as to which presently working distilleries were founded in the 1700s since it seems the majority of today's brands such as Glenfarclas date to the 19th Century. So far I've noticed five were founded in the late 18th Century: Bowmore, Glenturret, Glen Garioch, Strathisla, and Highland Park. Can you think of anymore Ralfy?
@ralfystuff
I think I've been hearing that peacock in the last few videos. Wonder if it's calling out for whiskey?
You'd better keep the tempo up if next vlog will be 2001 :-)
I'm just teasing, those small blunders are part of what makes you vlog insteresting (reality factor)
(in my glass: Balvenie 21 portwood - great - but I will remeber to set a price limit next time I get a friend to buy tax free for me.)
That's got a beautiful deep color.
@bonheurbrun, Intreguing: A taillles manx cat maybe? I asume the manxbothy needs a predator to keep the recyclabe whisky cardboard boxes mice nibble free.
Maybe put some Malty milk down for the kitties Ralphy!
Do i hear a cat meowing in the back at around about 5 min mark :D
It was a peacock.
been checking back every day for a year to see if anyone knows the answer. Validation.
Validation that it was a peacock?
@ralfystuff
i guess i have to wait a bit till i will spend that much money, or i need to tell my family what to give as present to me at xmas...but to come to my questions: i saw the glenfarclas 25Y is very very affordable. did you ever taste the 25y? also very good stuff?
Ralfy, is it me or did you not add the water? Great reviews by the way!
23.04.2021. 200 reviews. 200 likes 😁
@marcuz1989 what did you think of the 10 y/o aberlour.....it is a good price around here but seems to have mixed reviews online.
Greetings Ralfy! I'm new to your channel and boy it's amazing! 30 looks a little too expensive for me right now.. Do you wanna review a 21'er maybe? Thanks :)
caveman861 The 21 is great. I've never had the 30.
@crthebigo i have the a'bunadh waiting for a special occasion.
@ralfystuff
Well, since you've review three of those five, I wonder if you plan on reviewing Glenturret and Strathisla? Though as the chief component of Chivas Regal, I would say you've kind of reviewed Strathisla.
hi ralfy, will oyu be reviewing the glenfarclas 105? im interested to hear your opinion.
THE HELL IS A WELL-BEHAVED OAK?
did both bottles look the same and did they come in the same box?
Does this Whisky have caramel color added? It looks suspiciously dark.
No, it's old and matured in a Sherry Cask.
+TJCII 135 got it. Thanks!
as per 2016 it's basically out of even a "dreamy" radar... £350
any one have links to the sites he talks about at the end to get advice and do your research? "start with the malt maniacs and whisky fun, and keep tuned into whisky cast and go and ask in the forum, [inaudible] forum, magazine forum. you got whisky whisky whisky dot com"
Ralfy, are you going to review the 40 year old?
a bit too expensive for me.
This has disappeared from the shelves and now carries have heavy price tag.
Sorry. Nelg Salcraf Of course
Have you ever given 100/100?
