Glenfarclas 1994 The Chancellor's Cask

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 1994 and had the pleasure of being filled into a single sherry hogshead by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenneth Clarke. He was Chancellor under the premiership of John Major until the change in government in 1997.

The cask was filled on the 13th May 1994 and aged for over 25 years before bottling at cask strength on 13th June 2019.

One of 275 bottles.
