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 containing a different vintage of whisky, distilled between 1952 and 1994. The Family Casks was a unique edition, without parallel, offering a cross-section of the distillery’s 43-year history. The whisky presented here is a continuation of that ambitious project, part of a new phase of The Family Casks collection – distilled in 1982, it spent over three and a half decades in a fourth-fill hogshead cask (no. 632), and was bottled at cask strength (47.1% abv) on 5 December 2018 in an edition of 176 bottles.
We did not have the opportunity to taste this whisky, in his Whisky Bible 2020 Jim Murray describes it as "a spirit with strong oak notes balanced by the sweetness of honey and praline and a range of spices".
