Description

Titled 'Probably Speyside's Finest,' the Laing's well-known pseudonym for Glenfarclas, this was distilled in 1966 and bottled at 46 years old. One of 319 bottles drawn from a refill butt.

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.
