Product Description

Single sherry butt cask 4719. Distilled 1964 & bottled May 2011 yielding 377 bottles. One of the famous vintage casks from the Glenfarcas Family Casks series running consecutively covering the years from 1952 to 1996. Glenfarclas Glenfarclas Distillery was established by Robert Hay in Speyside in 1836. John Grant purchased Glenfarclas in 1865 & it has remained in the ownership of the Grant family ever since. The interior of the visitor centre is stunning, the walls are lined with the original oak panels salvaged from a lounge on the liner SS Empress of Australia when she was scrapped 1952. Ace sherry casks underpin the ethos of Glenfarclas malt whisky, having released its first cask strength single malt way back in 1968 & in 1973 became the third to open a distillery visitor centre. Glenfarclas Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Cola Cubes, sweet & dry on the nose, an interesting combination. Light tannins, more from Burgundy wine than a big Bordeaux. Almost like a polished segment of sandalwood, a very fragrant whisky. Smooth & very palatable, leaves you wanting more. Not as dry on the palate as it is on the nose. Long, delicate, lightly leathery, a very typical Glenfarclas
