Glenfarclas 1964 Single Sherry Cask #4725

Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired stills produce a heavy single malt that is almost exclusively matured in Jerez sherry casks. The distillery focuses on single malt over blends, and a cool microclimate around the distillery that means that their casks are particularly stingy to the "angels," resulting in an incredible depth of stock. Glenfarclas also feel they share some credit for the modern day love of cask strength whisky, introducing their acclaimed 105 proof expressions back in 1968.

This Glenfarclas was distilled in December 1964 and matured in single first-fill sherry butt #4725. It was bottled in November 2014, originally intended for the distillery's famed Family Casks series. A small portion of the cask was instead presented in these stunning decanters, produced for the Asian market.

One of 104 decanters.
