Description
The Glenfarclas Family Cask Release V presents a 1993 vintage from cask #3942 — a single ex-sherry butt distilled 17 years before bottling in 2010. Presented at a full 59.7% natural cask strength, this is Glenfarclas at its most characteristically rich and rewarding: classic distillery character shaped by long sherry cask maturation, with the kind of depth and complexity that only comes from a genuinely excellent cask and the patience to let it develop.

Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rich Christmas cake fruitiness with dark honey, molasses, and subtle cinnamon and pepper spiciness. Powerful almonds and rich fruit cake underneath
- Palate: Intense and fiery — cayenne pepper opens, then fades to reveal subtle fruitiness, molasses, raisins, and cocoa. Sherry-soaked fruit with light tannins and a very fresh Spanish oak character
- Finish: Long, mouth-filling, and balanced — rum cake, chocolate, and a lingering sweetness. Benefits beautifully from a touch of water
