1969 Glenfarclas The Family Casks Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The Glenfarclas Distillery, with over 52000 casks currently maturing in its traditional dunnage warehouses, is in the enviable position of having stock in cask from every year from 1952 to the current day. The Distillery formally launched 'The Family Casks', an exclusive collection of 43 vintage dated Single Cask Highland Malt Scotch Whiskies in September 2007 and since then the interest in the collection has been intense, with two bars quick to order a complete set. We are fortunate to be able to offer one bottle each of the 1968 and 1969 vintages for sale in Australia. These bottlings are both a collector's opportunity or a stunning 40th Birthday present. The 1969 vintage was bottled at cask strength on 28/02/2007 from a Sherry Hogshead. Only 148 bottles produced.

Tasting note: Very deep bronze. Another full-bodied and heavily-sherried Glenfarclas, but quite peaty for us. Spicy yet sweet; a complex palate that evolves. Add a drop of water and enjoy the whisky as it opens up, revealing a mix of maltiness and sherry in your mouth. The water also lets you enjoy the flavours for longer. A little vanilla on the aftertaste, strong yet very warming. 56.2 Alc./Vol.
