Glenfarclas 'Rechlerich' 1964 Norse Cask Selection 40 Year Old

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 unusual bottling of Glenfarclas was distilled in 1964 and bottled in 2005 under the pseudonym Rechlerich, after the nearby hamlet in Moray. This Norse Cask Selection bottling was drawn from single sherry butt #QW1578 which was specially selected by WhiskyOwner.com.
