When we approached Glenfarclas about assisting us with a special 25th Anniversary bottling, they offered a cask strength version of their beloved 25 year. We were thrilled at the opportunity, especially when they agreed to include our 25th Anniversary logo and an etched box, but it gets better... Bottled at 52.0%, this is a first in North America, just 600 bottles will be coming to Canada to help us celebrate our big anniversary. Less than 100 remain!

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: buttery, creamy and very fruity; rhubarb jam, blueberry compote, dried apricots, mandarin orange and vanilla custard; floral rose petals, honeycomb and rich but balanced spices: ginger, cardamom and nutmeg; soft leather, sweet tobacco leaf and slowly dark fruits.
Palate: immediately bold, but balanced and very layered with lots of subtle nuances; begins with soft leather, blueberry compote and sweet tobacco before developing into dark fruits and crisp but delicate spices; the buttery tones start to come out on the second sip with some lovely vanilla custard notes and clotted cream; more bright mandarin orange and stewed rhubarb emerge with some more delicate floral tones and toasty oak; later the spices take their turn at center stage with more cinnamon, cardamom and ginger but also hints of clove and anise.
Finish: long, and delicately layered; waves of fruits, leather, vanilla, oak and spices.
Comment: I wish I could take personal credit for selecting this one, but the work was all done by George and his team at Glenfarclas; never the less we are thrilled with the result and to have our reputation attached to such a brilliant whisky!

Here it is: the classic 25 Year Old Glenfarclas Single Malt Scotch. No corners are cut at Glenfarclas. Even though it is much more expensive, and hard to procure, their focus is still on European oak. Founded in 1836, Glenfarclas is the second oldest family-owned distillery in Scotland.

This is still one of the best value 40 year old whiskies on the market, bottled at 43%, after maturing primarily in Ex-Sherry casks. Canadian allocations of this whisky are getting tighter and tighter. We expect it will be a once annual release, and that the price will start going up precipitously in the years ahead... so don't tell us we didn't tell you so!

Glenfarclas 30 Year is one of the great, benchmark premium single malts. Matured in sherry casks and bottled 43% the whisky is layered, complex and smooth. Also comes in an impressive new box... if you're into that! No judgement on our end, we think it is very coo!
$274.99
Bottled at 43% after maturing exclusively in ex-Oloroso sherry seasoned casks. The Glenfarclas 21 year is favourite of the Scotch Guy, and has been for more than a decade!
