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 years of activity. The whisky presented here is a continuation of that ambitious project, part of a new phase of The Family Casks collection – distilled in 1988, it spent around 30 years in a refill sherry butt (no. 1374) and was bottled at cask strength (49.2% abv) on 5 December 2018 in an edition of 593 bottles.
