1 of 803 bottles produced from a single Matusalem Sherry Cask!
This bottle is exclusive to the distillery during the Spirit of Speyside Festival.
This is something you don't see often.
Produced in very small quantities, Matusalem is made by enrichment of a dry Oloroso sherry with 25% Pedro Ximenez, followed by additional ageing in its own solera. Rich and opulent in feel but with well moderated sweetness. Absorbingly complex, both nose and palate are awash with notes of raisins, figs, candied orange peel and pudding spices.
For its age, this has a truckload of character beyond its time in maturation. Whoever picked this one out did a fantastic job.
About Glenfarclas Family Casks
In 2007, Glenfarclas launched The Family Casks range. At first the collection consisted of 43 single cask, vintage single malts, spanning 1952 to 2004. As stocks dwindled, the series has gone through several reincarnations, resulting in more than 380 vintages from 1953 to 2004
The Family Cask Collection offers the whisky connoisseur the opportunity to sample the full range of Glenfarclas single malts, which have been matured in a variety of different sherry casks and bottled at cask strength
The Single Malt fund is delighted to offer this set of 52 Glenfarclas Family cask bottlings, with one bottle for each vintage, from 1953 to 2004, with whiskies aged from 14 to 59 years old
The Family Casks represent a drinkable history of Glenfarclas’s unique story. Each vintage tells the story of the distillery and of craftmanship, handed down from generation to generation
This collection offers a rare opportunity to own one of the great collections in the history of Scotch Whisky.
