- Description
- Glenfarclas selected this 22-year-old expression in 1999 at the behest of family member John Grant to mark the millennium transition, bottled at 43% ABV. The age and distillery selection process suggest a whisky balanced between youth and maturity—enough time in sherry for depth, but young enough to retain Speyside's core character. A commemorative bottling that represents a moment in the distillery's stewardship. Suited to collectors marking significant years or those with personal connections to the turn-of-century moment this whisky represents.
