Description

Considered among the finest of the Speyside malt distilleries and one of the few of its age to still be family-owned, Glenfarclas uses direct-fired stills to create a rich, weighty spirit. This particular expression, a 30 Year Old, was distilled on 18th December 1964 and matured in a single sherry butt (cask #4996) before being bottled in April 1995 by independent bottler Signatory Vintage. Only 480 bottles were produced.
