Product description
Glenfarclas The Family Casks collection was launched in 2007 and featured whiskies from the finest casks the distillery had in stock, bottled in its natural state.
It consisted of 43 bottles, each bottle containing whisky from a different vintage, distilled between 1952 and 1994. The Family Casks was a unique edition, without its likes, offering a cross-section of the distillery's 43-year history. The whisky presented here is a continuation of this ambitious project, part of a new stage in the Family Casks collection - distilled in 1960, it spent over half a century in a sherry hogshead cask (no. 1770), the contents of which on July 1, 2013 translated into 166 bottles of cask strength whisky (42.3% abv).
Manufacturer's note:
"A powerful wave of sherry and wonderful aromas of fruit orchard, more intense than we expected. The tsunami of aromas ends with notes of oak tannins.
High-end cigar, burnt brown sugar, and lots of high-cocoa chocolate.
We recommend this single cask edition to lovers of well-aged, sherry-dominated whisky. A true, 53-year-old sherry bomb.”
