I got an email from someone asking me to put the Elvis Presley Guide to Glenfarclas on the blog as they "loved it". This is good for two reasons. Firstly, it means that someone has given me positive comments (which is ALWAYS good for the ego) but more than that, it means someone is actually reading the website and I'm not wasting my time!
Glenfarclas 10 Year (The Sun Record Years) Raw, unrefined and damned sexy. Both Elvis and the ten year old instantly hook you, and while technically both are flawed, they inspire and remain with you forever.
Glenfarclas 105 (Army Elvis)
Elvis is enrolled in the military and doesn’t release any new material. The Colonel realises that people need Elvis records so he throws any old rubbish out onto the market and makes it shiney and glossy. The 105 is much of the same. Crude whisky, with a barrel of alcohol and people lap it up despite it being... well... rubbish.
Glenfarclas 15 Year Old (Movie Year Elvis)
Gentle and Easy. That’s both the whisky and the King’s voice. They are both easily approachable, show everything that you fell in love with the young version, but because they are so punter friendly, you can’t get enthusiastic. You still want to drink 10 year old while listening to Hound Dog.
Glenfarclas 21 Year Old (’68 Comeback Special)
The best. Just perfect in evey way. The sex is back, the power is there, and delivered so so well. You know that things won’t get any better and that this is a pleasure to experience the ride. This is their finest hour.
Glenfarclas 30 Year Old (Way Down)
It’s 1976. Elvis is less than a year from his death, he is fat, unpleasant and lacking talent. The whisky is doing the same, is is not pleasant and it is dying in the barrel. But then a miracle happens. For one last hurrah, both pull it together, rediscover the youth, the sex and the finesse, and they launch it at the world. Elvis records ‘Way Down’, his last great song. Glenfarclas releases the 30 year old, a great whisky and the king .
Glenfarclas 40 Year Old (Dead Elvis)
Old rubbish, jazzed up and thrown out in fancy packaging to make a shed load of money! This is a whisky that should not be released, but the distillery just had to have a whisky at over a grand. The same applies to Elvis' releases in the 21st century.
