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 this ambitious project, part of a new stage in the Family Casks collection - distilled in 1991, it spent around 30 years in a sherry butt no. 5676, and was bottled at cask strength (55.3% abv) on June 9, 2021 in an edition of 558 bottles.
