Glenfarclas Family Casks 2003 #1970
– 4th Fill Butt, Bottled 2022
Glenfarclas is a true gem among Scottish single malt whiskeys and a tribute to the family-owned passion for the art of distillation. This special bottling from their acclaimed Family Casks range represents the best of Glenfarclas' heritage.
This whiskey was distilled in 2003 and bottled on 27 July 2022, giving it almost 19 years to mature in a 4th Fill Butt cask (cask number 1970). The bottling is one of just 593 bottles, each with an impressive 55.9% strength, providing an authentic and concentrated taste experience.
Tasting notes
Nose: Delicate sherry, dried fruit, caramel and a touch of spices.
Taste: Full and warm with notes of raisins, dark chocolate and roasted nuts.
Aftertaste: Long and persistent with slight dryness and warm spices.
With these Glenfarclas Family Casks, you don't just get a whisky, but part of a 158-year-old history. It is a bottle that deserves a special place in any whiskey collection.
Glenfarclas is known as one of Scotland's most traditional distilleries that remains family owned. Since 1865, the distillery has been in the hands of the Grant family, who have continued their dedication and expertise through six generations. It all began with John Grant, a cattle breeder, who in 1865 bought Recherlich Farm and Glenfarclas Distillery for the modest sum of £511.
This family ownership structure has enabled Glenfarclas to maintain their unique approach to whiskey making, which i.a. includes the use of directly heated copper kettles and quality casks. The result is whiskeys with depth, character and complexity.
This 2003 bottling is a perfect representation of Glenfarclas' style – a flavorful blend of sherry sweetness, spicy notes and a silky texture. An obvious whiskey for the collector, but also for those who want a unique taste experience from one of Scotland's most respected distilleries.
