Glenfarclas – 40 Year Old 'Scottish Classic' (70cl, 43.00%)

Glenfarclas – 40 Year Old 'Scottish Classic' is a single malt whisky from Glenfarclas (Speyside). Aged 40 years, bottled at 43.00% ABV, 70cl. The limited edition Scottish Classic was touted as a “celebration of the third millennium." The range of 600 individually numbered bottles commemorates three great Scottish literary heroes. Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert “Rabbie” Burns are all honoured by artwork produced by three different artists. Each bottle has an illustration of a scene from one of the authors’ magna opera, and there are 30 different variations. Considered among the finest of the Speyside malt distilleries and one of the few of its age to still be family-owned. J&G Grant became its sole shareholders in 1898 and continue to run it in a traditional manner, notably using direct-fired stills to create a rich, weighty spirit.
