 |
|
Glenfarclas have released a new limited edition to mark there 175th anniversary. Priced at around £80 i think and 6000 bottles available worldwide.
The Glenfarclas 175th Anniversary bottling has been created by selecting eighteen casks, with three from each of the last six decades - 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000. Including the oldest cask in the distillery's warehouses; number 1711 from 1952.

I dont think this one will be around long to dont hang around if you want one.

| I like the look of this one, with a 59 year old whisky from 1952 in the mix. How many bottles here in the UK William, do you know? |

I guess it isnt coming here then. I think this is one of those rare good buys whether for drinking or for to add to the collection as Glenfarclas do knock out some real good stuff. |

Looks great, and am slightly  partial to Glenfarclas 
Does anyone know online dealers stocking this? I have had a look round and TWE and LFW didnt seem to have it in stock.
Cheers |

Sometimes TWE can be slow to add new whiskies, maybe worth calling them and if they dont have it yet they may reserve a bottle for you when they do get it.
Edit
I just noticed that Royal Mile Whiskies has some in stock - Max. 2 bottles per customer! |

it sounds like a scotch/bourbon highbred of sorts. Worth a try for sure, but I'll have to look into the cost.
Thanks for the post.

...that was a bit confusing.
Reading through the article the tasting notes were of aged caskets with toffee and vanilla tones; reminding me of bourbons I enjoy. I hopped over from one of the other sub forums and I guess I still had bourbon on the mind.

| I am sure it will be a 100% classic Glenfarclas sherried Scotch whisky. |

I hope so!
I know its not as popular at the moment as the smoky stuff, but I have a very sweet spot for the old sherried Highlanders! |
