This Glenfarclas comes from The Family Casks series (release Sp17), which offers single cask bottlings at cask strength. Distilled in 1990, it matured in a sherry butt and was bottled on 24 January 2017 at 49.7%, giving 525 bottles in 70cl size. Glenfarclas is a Speyside distillery at Ballindalloch, owned by the Grant family since 1865. The nose shows intense sherry and dark fruit such as cherries, blackberries and raisins, with cask spice, caramel and honey. On the palate, Amarena cherries, honey, almonds and caramel meet light oak spice and gently bitter chocolate. The finish is long and soft.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
