Glenfarclas 1972 Family Cask No. 3551 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenfarclas Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from freshly harvested barley, which is malted and mashed with water sourced from the heather-clad slopes of the Ben Rinnes Mountain. The crystal-clear spring water, which cascades down the 3,000-foot mountain through peat and granite, is the lifeblood of the Glenfarclas Distillery. After the barley has been malted and mashed, it is fermented using a proprietary yeast culture. The wash — the liquid that remains after fermentation — is then distilled twice through Glenfarclas' copper-pot stills. While most distilleries use modern, steam-powered stills that lengthen the lifespan of the still, Glenfarclas Distillery continues to use traditional direct-heated stills in order to preserve the classic flavors of the Scotch whisky. After distillation, the heads and tails of the distillate are discarded and only about 15% of the distillate — the heart of hearts — is preserved for maturation.
Tasting Notes
Dark amber color, along with an aroma of spiced honey, pecan pie crust and figs. Notes of dried peaches, apricots, plums and fruit are complemented by soft touches of leather, toffee and warm biscuits, and lead to an everlasting, smooth finish.
