1985 Glenfarclas The Family Casks Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

*Summer 2022 Release

A unique The Family Casks bottling from Speyside distillery Glenfarclas. In 1985 the single malt whisky went into the cask, a refill sherry cask, and about 36 years later in 2022 it was bottled at a cask strength of 41.9% in an edition of 266 bottles.

Critic tasting note: "A refill sherry hoggie has given a classic walnut color, and indeed notes of that nut as well. Here’s Glenfarclas at its most dense, with savory, sun-dried tomato-like edges and sandalwood. The mouth is elegant with a little heat, the sherry giving roasted almond, sweet plump dried fruits, and dried flowers. Water brings out lightly gripping tannins (but, again, not aggressively) and good layering. Similar to the â€?7. £285" - 88/100, Whisky Advocate
