PROBABLY SPEYSIDE'S FINEST DISTILLERY (GLENFARCLAS) 1966 47 YEAR OLD HUNTER LAING'S OLD & RARE
SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT

Distilled: June 1966

Bottled: November 2013

Matured in a Sherry Butt

Bottle Number: 196 / 204

48.5% ABV / 70cl

Still independently owned, Glenfarclas has been operated by the Grant Family since 1865 when John Grant bought the distillery for the princely sum of £511.19s.0d. In today’s money that’s about £69,000, so still a bargain.
The distillery’s microclimate ensures one of the lowest Angel’s Shares in Scotland, allowing Glenfarclas to release staggeringly old expressions that still boast eye watering ABVs, and their (almost) exclusive use of European oak Sherry Casks results in a whisky that’s resinous and rich in dried fruit notes.
