    FINISH DATE
    30 April 2017

    The 9th release from the 1989 Glenfarclas Family Casks. Matured in a single Sherry Butt (No.12989) before being bottled on the 20th of February 2012. A rich deep copper coloured malt leaving a long sweet finish that keeps on going. A touch of sulphur at the end as though something has blown out a match. The Family Casks unique collection was launched in 2007, every bottle created from single cask malts from 1952 to 1994. Each cask bottled at cask strength and natural colour. Comes with tasting notes and a booklet with information about the Glenfarclas distillery.

    Glenfarclas

    The family-owned distillery that everyone speaks fondly of, Glenfarclas was established in 1836 by Robert Hay, who owned the distillery for 3 decades before the Grant family arrived on the scene. It has never left their hands since. The nearest anyone has gotten to owning the distillery was the infamous Pattison company in 1895, who subsequently went bankrupt 3 years later and almost took the distillery with them. The Grant’s vowed never again and over 120 years later, that’s proved to be the case. Glenfarclas has been associated with sherry casks and an impressive maturing inventory as displayed in their family cask range. It remains one of the top-selling single malts worldwide because of its dedication, consistency and affordability. Their age statement range, compared to other Speyside distilleries, doesn’t cost the earth and is widely available. The Glenfarclas character has many fans, thanks to quality casks, direct-fired stills and the use of rummagers, which add to the quality of the whisky.
