1983 Glenfarclas The Family Casks Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2007 Release

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Distilled in 1983 and drawn from bourbon cask #30 before being bottled in 2007, this edition had a decent outturn of 302 bottles. Now very rare, this well-kept release from about 15 years ago is highly unlikely to be seen again any time soon. 56.0% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

While many distilleries offer single casks, allowing an opportunity to taste a more distinctive and 'natural' version of an otherwise familiar spirit, Glenfarclas’ Family Casks go one step further: If your wallet permits, you can pick across vintages spanning five decades. At the time of writing, the Grant family has offered hundreds of vintage malts from the early 1950s up to 2014. No one year is quite like the next, and cask aging varies from release to release. You never quite know what you’re going to get. Our latest shipment concentrates on sherry matured malts, which, in our opinion, traditionally work best with the distillery's heavy, pungent and fruity new-make. Direct-fired stills contribute further character, while traditional dunnage warehouses keep a constant temperature so the whiskies are geared towards long, slow maturation. That doesn't mean these selections don't sometimes peak relatively young. Expect the unexpected!
