Glenfarclas are well known for their well-Sherried whiskies, as they often use casks which have previously held Oloroso Sherry. However, this 1966 vintage is a bit special, as the three casks used (#4194, #4195 and #4197) previously held Fino Sherry, and matured the Glenfarclas whisky for a massive 47 years! 1444 bottles were produced, and come accompanied by a handsome black leather box adorned with a silver coin featuring the portrait of John Grant, who purchased the distillery in 1865. This release marks the start of a series of six bottlings from the Glenfarclas distillery - one for each of the six generations of the family behind Glenfarclas. What does the future hold for this series? We're excited to find out!

In Ballindalloch, Scotland, there is a Speyside whiskey distillery called Glenfarclas. Glenfarclas, which means valley of the green grass, is a Scottish name. The Grant family owns and operates the distillery. Six stills, the biggest on Speyside and located in the distillery, are heated directly by gas burners. About 4 million liters of spirit may be produced at the distillery each year. Two stills are often held in reserve while the other two are used for production. Approximately 68,000 barrels from every year since 1953 up to the present are now ageing at the distillery in on-site dunnage warehouses. Traditional Highland malt with a strong sherry flavor is produced by Glenfarclas.
