Glenfarclas 1966 Fino Casks 47 Year Old

One of only 300 bottles UK wide - and now pretty much all but gone, the Glenfarclas 1966 Fino sherry casks is a rare bottle indeed. Matured exclusively in fino sherry casks which is a very rare cask to be used for maturing whisky. Fino is a lighter and typically drier sherry than Oloroso. Each bottle is in a black box bearing a silver coin which features an image of John Grant, who founded the distillery six generations ago. This expression marks the first in the series of six different Glenfarclas special releases, one for each generation of the family.

NOSE

Almond, toffee and vanilla to begin with, giving way to nutmeg, and Crunchie Bars.

PALATE

More intense than the nose suggests, pear, peach, old oak, more nutmeg and cinder toffee with a woody spice.

FINISH

Very old oak on the finish, spice, buttery toast and toffee staying there for a long time...a very long time!
