Glenfarclas Family Casks 1996 #1067 – Single Cask Speyside Single Malt Whisky 57,6%

This is pure Glenfarclas magic in its most authentic form. Glenfarclas Family Casks 1996 #1067 is an uncompromising single cask bottling, bottled at natural cask strength and created for connoisseurs seeking depth, power and classic sherried character. A whisky that shows the distillery’s DNA without filter – intense, complex and full of personality.

Distilled in 1996 and bottled from a single sherry butt, a cask type that is the backbone of Glenfarclas’ style. The sherry cask adds richness, structure and warm spices, while allowing the fruity and malty core of the distillate to unfold. At 57.6% strength, the whisky is delivered exactly as it was in the cask – undiluted and without compromise.

A total of 580 bottles of this bottling have been bottled, making it both desirable and interesting for collectors and passionate whisky enthusiasts alike. It is a whisky that can be enjoyed slowly, preferably with a few drops of water, which opens up even more nuances and layers in the taste experience.

Tasting notes:
The nose is deep and classically sherried with notes of raisins, dried figs, nuts, orange peel and dark caramel, supported by spices and oak. The palate is powerful and full-bodied with intense sherry sweetness, dark fruit, cocoa, spice and a balanced dryness. The finish is long, warm and complex with lingering sherry, spice and elegant oak.
