- Description
- This 1980s bottling of the 15-year-old carries Glenfarclas's classic sherried profile in the distillery's iconic rectangular bottle, a snapshot of the era when the brand built its reputation. The 46% strength ensures sufficient texture and spice complexity to emerge from beneath the sherry cask influence.
