Description
Distilled on Christmas Eve 1980 and aged for 23 years in a single port pipe, this rare bottling carries the festive provenance of its creation alongside the exotic influence of Portuguese oak. At 46% ABV, port cask maturation would have imparted red fruit, spice, and tannin complexity atypical of Glenfarclas' usual sherry character. A curiosity and conversation piece for those interested in cask experimentation during the 1980s.
