Glenfarclas 1979, Rare Vintage Selection Cask, 700ml

Rare Vintage Selection - Cask #8065 (bottled in 2019)

Rare Vintage Selection was distilled in 1979, meaning it spent a remarkable 39 years maturing in a single refill sherry cask (#8065). This extended slumber in seasoned oak allowed the spirit to develop an incredibly rich and complex character.

Only 156 bottles of this expression were ever released, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.

Tasting Notes: aromas of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and hints of honey, all enveloped by a subtle sherry influence. Each sip unveils notes of spiced orange peel, ripe plums, and toasted oak, beautifully balanced and layered. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering memory of fruit, spice, and wood.
