- Description
- This 1986 staff bottling commemorates Glenfarclas's 150th anniversary with a sherried expression that reflects decades of maturation in quality casks. Rich, dried-fruit forward, and warming with the spice and tannin structure that sherry aging imparts, it captures the distillery's house style at peak expression. Bottled at 43% and distillery-strength, it balances approachability with depth. A period piece worth seeking for those invested in Glenfarclas history.
