<strong>Boisdale</strong><br />

In 2006 Glenfarclas was named distiller of <strong>the</strong> year by Whisky Magazine.<br />

We were nominated for <strong>the</strong> award for being ‘consistently good and staying true to our core values’ For<br />

six generations my family (and everyone at Glenfarclas) has taken personal pride on <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong><br />

whisky we produce, so it was a great pleasure that <strong>the</strong>se values should be recognised by <strong>the</strong> industry<br />

It was this pride and sense of history which lead us to create a collection of limited edition<br />

Glenfarclas expressions – The Family Casks<br />

BIN<br />

Number of<br />

bottles<br />

Strength Price 50 ml<br />

824 Glenfarclas Family Cask 1952 96 47.3% £355.00<br />

There is lots of nuttiness and marzipan on <strong>the</strong> nose, with vanilla trying to<br />

fight its way forward. The taste is light, bitter, sweet, sour, smoky ..... every<br />

possible combination of flavours. Even some citrus and orange cordial<br />

At 57 years old, this is <strong>the</strong> oldest bottling of Glenfarclas to date.<br />

825 Glenfarclas Family Cask 1957 94 46.2% £220.00<br />

A very rich, dark whisky, which reflects almost no light through <strong>the</strong> bottle.<br />

Strong, rich tannins are immediately present on <strong>the</strong> nose. However, you will<br />

also experience lots of sherry, rich stewed coffee, a fresh bag of liquorice… so<br />

many different aromas as this delightful whisky is released into <strong>the</strong> air.<br />

After about 20 mins you night even sense macadamia nuts. This is a very<br />

big, heavy whisky-rich in alcohol-soaked fruit. Almost bitter to begin with,<br />

<strong>the</strong>n a delicate sweetness present. A strong double-espresso immediately<br />

comes to mind.<br />

It has a bitter, dark chocolate aftertaste, present for a very long time. In<br />

short, a fantastic whisky. A great treat<br />

826 Glenfarclas Family Cask 1963 420 56.7% £98.00<br />

A lovely rich, dark whisky-colour more often associated with a dark cognac.<br />

A big heavy-sherried whisky; great if you like <strong>the</strong>m big and powerful. This<br />

bottling is more than 40 years old but has lost none of it’s appeal. Still strong<br />

but not overpowering. Some vanilla and citrus present at <strong>the</strong> back of your<br />

mouth-almost like <strong>the</strong> caramelised fruit you’d find in a fruit cake.<br />

A wonderful long finish sitting heavily at <strong>the</strong> back of your mouth. Sherry<br />

flavours and fruit cake wonderfully balanced<br />

All spirits are sold in measures of 25ml or multiples <strong>the</strong>reof<br />

All prices listed are for a large measure of 50ml. Should you require a regular measure, please ask.<br />
