Description

Considered among the finest of the Speyside malt distilleries and one of the few of its age to still be family-owned. J&G Grant became its sole shareholders in 1898 and continue to run it in a traditional manner, notably using direct-fired stills to create a rich, weighty spirit. This is a tremendous offering from Glenfarclas, distilled in 1977, and matured for 42 years in a single fourth fill oloroso hogshead. Only 101 decanters were produced, bottled with natural colour, at cask strength.

Historical context
Distilled two years after the installation of new stills, bringing the distillery's total to six. The 1970s was a turbulent but crucial part of Glenfarclas' history.

Nose
Aromas you would usually associate with a much older dram, the vapours offer a lovely sweetness of honey, candy floss, and barley sugar.
Palate
Light, punchy, zesty fruit on the front of the mouth. With a few drops of water a much bigger sherry flavour with all the aromas of a forest floor presents itself. This is a fantastic marriage of oak, sherry, and spirit, finishing with a waxy, oily apricot warmth.
Finish
Cumulates in Seville orange, fresh oak, showcasing that well balanced, classic Glenfarclas Cask Strength flavour from the 1970s.
