1966 Glenfarclas The Family Casks Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Spring 2017 Release

The Grandfather release in this consignment breaks the fifty year barrier and is one of the earliest (and oldest) Family Cask bottlings we've been able to secure to date (a 1954 is currently listed at $20K if '66 isn't your year). Almost certainly nearing the distillery's final warehouse stocks from the era, it is investment grade whisky, obviously desirable for any collection or premium bar as single malts of this rarity continue to defy the odds, increasing in value and becoming the 'assets' of a decreasing few. Purists who insist on opening a bottle may expect a punchy and slightly wilder ride than many contemporary Glenfarclas' while also delivering an amazingly, deep sherry infused experience that should set a benchmark for well-aged Speyside malts. We have two only from a measly outturn of 146 bottles. Distilled in 1966 and bottled from a sherry butt in Spring 2017. 41.7% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
