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.
The collection consisted of 43 bottles, each containing a different vintage, distilled between 1952 and 1994. The Family Casks was an absolutely unique edition, without parallel, offering a cross-section of the distillery’s 43 years of activity. The Glenfarclas 1993 presented here is a continuation of that ambitious project, part of the next stage of The Family Casks collection. The whisky was matured in a fourth-fill sherry butt cask no. 4669, which on 9 June 2021 amounted to 550 bottles (57.1% abv).
Aroma : fruity, oranges, plums, dried apricots and figs, raisins, walnuts, honey, dark chocolate, white pepper, allspice, notes of dried mushrooms and oak.
Taste : malty with light notes of sherry, plums, bitter orange jam, honey, dark chocolate, raisins, nutmeg, cinnamon, traces of tobacco and leather.
Finish : quite long, with notes of chocolate, dried fruit, almonds, nutmeg, pepper, tobacco and a fleeting trace of sulfur.
