- Description
- Glenfarclas' 1971 vintage represents the distillery's mastery of sherry maturation, aged for over four decades in sherry butt #147 before bottling at cask strength. The extended time in oloroso wood has built layers of dried fruit, toffee, and spice into a rich, complex spirit. Expect deep cherry, date, and polished oak on the palate, with a long, warming finish that speaks to the quality of both spirit and cask. A collector's piece for those seeking depth and provenance in a single glass.
