Glenfarclas 1965-2014 | The Family Cask 4505Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl 49. 7% Another vintage in Glenfarclas's increasingly impressive Family Casks series. This time it's a 1965 sherry butt bottled in 2014 at an almost perfect 49. 7%. An appetising colour that suggests bags of fruits, spice and all kinds of tertiary complexities. Undoubtedly another stunner from this brilliant collection.
