Long time since I’ve had a Family Cask from Glenfarclas. majbe there’s too much of them, and they are too expensive to pop open immediately, so very few of them are able to generate some fame. Just my two cents.

This Glenfarclas 1997 was bottled from a single sherry butt #453 in the Winter 2017 releases.

Glenfarclas 20 yo 1997 (54,9%, OB ‘Family Casks’ 2017, sherry butt #453, 565 btl.)

Nose: great nose. It’s fairly dry but with a tart fruity edge that works really well. Rhubarb, mirabelles, oranges, majbe buckthorn. Hints of dried apricots, almonds and toffee....
