Glenfarclas Family Casks 1983

Product Description

Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside’s independent whisky producers. The Grant family have been running Glenfarclas since 1860, producing an individual Speyside malt that many whisky enthusiasts number as one of their favourites. The water source is melt water from the slopes of Ben Rinnes which runs through granite and heather before reaching Glenfarclas (meaning ‘the valley of green grass’). With a long history of bottlings stretching back to the early 20th Century, both proprietary and independent, Glenfarclas is keenly collected. Creating a great malt whisky is a time-honoured process. Here in the heart of Speyside, Glenfarclas has cherished the skills and traditions of fine malt whisky making for over 165 years, handing them down through six generations.

The colour of pale gold. A very strong nose initially, this whisky demands respect from the first sniff. After the initial shock of the strength of this dram, you can definitely pick up some hints of marzipan and coconut. In fact, it’s a very fresh whisky overall, with candy floss and apples present on your palate. The aftertaste is short. Think pear drops.
