- Description
- An 1980s bottling of Glenfarclas 15-year-old presented in the rectangular bottle characteristic of that era, at 46% ABV. The extended maturation in sherry casks would have developed deeper colour and complexity than younger expressions. This vintage offers a window into how the distillery's core expression evolved during the previous generation.
