Glenfarclas 1968 Handwritten label 702 + 5240 Thosop 49.7% 700ml information

The Glenfarclas 1968 Whisky Bottle is a remarkable and rare special bottling from the esteemed Glenfarclas distillery, celebrated for its rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship in Speyside. This unique expression was meticulously selected by renowned Glenfarclas collector, Luc Timmermans, who faced an intriguing dilemma with two superb single sherry casks from 1968. Unable to choose between the two, he masterfully vatted them together, resulting in an extraordinary 41-year-old single malt whisky. The final blend combines a first-fill oloroso hogshead (cask 702) and a first-fill fino hogshead (cask 5240), both filled in 1968 and bottled in 2010. This whisky's flavor profile is both rich and complex, featuring an array of enticing notes including fruitcake, honey, leather, putty, pata negra ham, mint liqueur, sandalwood, and a hint of very old balsamic vinegar. On the palate, it showcases a more vigorous character than the nose suggests, with flavors of pepper, capsicum, cloves, tobacco, prunes, old Armagnac, blackcurrants, banana skin, dried pears, green tea, and oak. When water is added, the oak becomes more pronounced, revealing subtle hints of mouldiness, an old wine cellar, and saltpetre. Not for the faint-hearted, this whisky boasts a robust and mature flavor profile with a well-integrated oak presence. As a limited edition with only 318 bottles produced, it is an exceptionally rare and valuable addition to any whisky connoisseur's collection. The Glenfarclas 1968 Whisky Bottle is a testament to the distillery's enduring legacy and expertise, promising an unforgettable tasting experience for even the most discerning enthusiasts.
