Detailed Description

A tremendous offering from Glenfarclas, distilled in 1977, two years after the installation of a pair of new stills, bringing the distillery's total up to six. Matured for a whopping 42 years in a single fourth fill oloroso hogshead, just 101 decanters of this were produced, bottled with natural colour, at a cask strength of 48.6% ABV.

Glenfarclas 42 Year Old 1977 (cask 7027) | 700ML Tasting Notes

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.

Distillery Information

The Glenfarclas whisky distillery draws its water from pure springs on the rugged Ben Rinnes mountain range, which looms omnipresent in the distant reaches. The distillery sits in the moors of Banffshire, just a mile from the River Spey. Glenfarclas has always been, and it seems will remain to be, one of Scotland's only family run distilleries. Accordingly, there is a strong degree of independence. Prized by connoisseurs, the single malt whiskies of Glenfarclas are matured almost solely in sherry butts and are aged in the substantial onsite warehousing facilities; the 28 warehouses hold 52,000 casks. One of the few Scotch makers never to use exotic woods for maturation, Glenfarclas retains its integrity. The distillery was first founded in 1836 by Robert Hay. However, there is some evidence that there was a distillery on the site over a century prior. Following Robert’s death in 1865, John and George Grant acquired the distillery for '511 pounds and 19 shillings'. They leased it to the Glenlivet’s John Smith. John Smith chose to pursue his newly founded Cragganmore distillery instead and in 1870 Messrs Grant ran Glenfarclas once more. In 2017, a Glenfarclas 30 year old was released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the ‘Final Fantasy’ game which was first launched in 1987, the same year the whisky was distilled.
