Whisky Focus - The Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunk 1954 - 2003

Following on from their incredibly popular Family Cask Collection, The Glenfarclas distillery has unveiled The Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunk which contains every single vintage from 1954 to 2003.

The unique collection of fifty 200ml bottles, one from each year from 1954 to 2003, are presented in a custom made trunk which resembles a contemporary interpretation of a traditional shipping trunk.

To compliment the incredible 50 bottle set, the trunk also contains 4 bespoke tumblers, 4 nosing glasses and a water jug, all crafted from the finest crystal by renowned Scottish glass manufacturer Glencairn Crystal. There are also 4 slate coasters, 3 hand printed and bound leather books - one containing the history of the distillery, another with George Granty's tasting note for each vintage in the collection and the third book is destined to be filled in by the lucky buyer's own tasting notes. There is also a replica of the oldest known painting of the Glenfarclas distillery, the original, from 1791, now hangs in the Glenfarclas Private Dining Room.

George Grant, Sales Director and 6th generation of the Grant family, owners of the Glenfarclas distillery since 1865 commented on the Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunk, saying:

"This is is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a full collection of vintages in a full set. It is the first - and last - chance to purchase this, as some of the vintages contained in the trunk are from the last casks of their respective years. We are thrilled to bring this ambitious project to fruition, one which could only be realised due to my grandfather's foresight in laying down casks as far back as the 1950's"

As you can imagine this will be a very limited release and you will certainly need deep pockets to get hold of it, there will be only 60 Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunks available worldwide with a RRP of £100,000 and you will find them available from specialist online whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt
