Glenfarclas 1978 Cask Strength​
Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired stills produce a heavy single malt that is almost exclusively matured in Jerez sherry casks. The distillery focuses on single malt over blends, and a cool microclimate around the distillery that means that their casks are particularly stingy to the "angels," resulting in an incredible depth of stock. Glenfarclas also feel they share some credit for the modern day love of cask strength whisky, introducing their acclaimed 105 proof expressions back in 1968.
A vatting of sherry casks 748 and 749 both distilled on the 26th January 1978.
Bottled on the 11th July 2016 - at a cask strength of 43% - for the German market.
