Product description
Glenfarclas Distillery has been the pioneer of cask strength whiskies. The first cask strength expression, later named 105, was launched in 1968.
The number 105 refers to the old British system used for describing how much of ethanol contains any given alcoholic beverage. The “proof” was defined as 7/4 times the alcohol by volume. To determine the alcohol content one needs to multiple number of proof by 4 and divide the outcome by 7 (105 x 4 = 420; 420 : 7 = 60). Glenfarclas 105 carries no age statement, it is believed that whisky spends around 8 years in sherry wood.
