Description
This 21-year-old Glenfarclas was bottled for the Italian market in the 1970s, offering a window into the distillery's character during a formative period of single malt appreciation. At 43% ABV, the whisky shows Speyside's typical balance of fruit and spice, likely enriched by sherry cask influence. The lighter bottling strength makes this a contemplative dram rather than a forceful one. Seek this out for its rarity and historical significance.
