Glenfarclas 1972 39 Year Old Family Cask #3551

An unpeated single malt whisky from Scotland. Produced by Glenfarclas Distillery, aged in oak (Ex-Sherry), non-chill filtered, bottled at 44.7% ABV, available in 700ml bottles.

The Family Cask prices have been steadily increasing over the last few years, especially in emerging Asian markets. Word has it that demand has been so strong that Glenfarclas have even stopped issuing tasting notes for the various casks. Instead, they literally reserve every last drop for the whisky trade. Several vintages are increasingly rare even in the distillerys warehouses and may represent their final stocks.

Distilled in 1972 and drawn from a single cask #3551 before being bottled in 2011, this 39 year old edition had an outturn of 565 bottles.
