Glenfarclas 1986 Refill Sherry Butts
Glenfarclas 1986 Refill Sherry Butts is a vintage Speyside single malt showcasing the long-established relationship between Glenfarclas and sherry cask maturation.
Distilled in 1986, this whisky spent its maturation in refill sherry butts, allowing decades of interaction between spirit and oak while retaining the distinctive Glenfarclas character.
Vintage Glenfarclas from 1986
Refill sherry wood can provide a more restrained cask influence than fresh sherry-seasoned oak, allowing mature distillery character to remain an important part of the whisky.
Expect an elegant combination of dried and mature fruit, malt and sherry-derived richness, accompanied by spice and polished oak.
A Collectible Speyside Whisky
Vintage Glenfarclas bottlings are particularly attractive to enthusiasts and collectors looking beyond the distillery's regular age-statement range.
