Glenfarclas 1976 Family Cask 2014 Refill Butt #3105 - 41.8% 70cl

Owned by the Grant family, this Speyside distillery in Ballindalloch has 6 stills and has a production capacity of around 3.5 million litres of spirit per year. 

Around 68,000 casks are being kept maturing for the future.

Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired stills produce a heavy single malt that is almost exclusively matured in Jerez sherry casks.

The distillery focuses on single malt over blends, and a cool microclimate around the distillery that means that their casks are particularly stingy to the "angels," resulting in an incredible depth of stock.

Glenfarclas also feel they share some credit for the modern day love of cask strength whisky, introducing their acclaimed 105 proof expressions back in 1968.

The impressive cask stock in the Glenfarclas warehouses means there has been a great output of vintage distillery bottlings in addition to their core range age statements.

In 2006, the distillery had an unbroken string of vintages dating back to 1952, and launched the Family Casks range that year, an annual release which showcases the very best of these.

This 1976 bottled was bottled on the 26th March 2014 from sherry butt #3105 yielding 354 bottles.
