Glenfarclas 1973 Single Sherry Cask #4788 / Mähler-Besse Import

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.

A single cask Glenfarclas, distilled on the 21st May 1973 and bottled on the 24th May 2002 from a single sherry cask #4788.

Bottle number 242 produced for Mahler Besse in Bordeaux, France.
