1977 Glenfarclas The Family Casks Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The Family Cask prices have been steadily increasing over the last few years, especially in emerging Asian markets. Word has it that demand has been so strong that Glenfarclas have even stopped issuing tasting notes for the various casks. Instead, they literally reserve every last drop for the whisky trade. Several vintages are increasingly rare even in the distillery’s warehouses and may represent their final stocks.

Distilled in 1977 and drawn from a single 4th refill hogshead #8205 before being bottled in July 2016, this edition had a minuscule outturn of just 125 bottles. A fantastic price for a Glenfarclas of this ilk. 41.7% Alc./Vol.
