Glenfarclas 'Blairfindy' 1976 Blackadder 24 Year Old 75cl / US Import

The Blairfindy pseudonym is a brand owned by Blackadder International for bottling casks of Glenfarclas that, for legal reasons, they are not permitted to expressly identify.

Blackadder International were founded in 1995 by whisky writers, Robin Tucek and John Lamond, authors of the 1987 publication, The Malt Whisky File: The Essential Guide for the Malt Whisky Connoisseur. The company has gained great affection from whisky enthusiasts for its Raw Cask series, which is deliberately drawn un-filtered from the cask so as to retain all cask sediment along with any natural oils and fats. The company is credited with a key role in the popularisation of cask strength whiskies since its inception.

This was distilled on 10th May 1976 and bottled from sherry cask #1 in September 2000.

Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired still produce a heavy single malt that is almost exclusively matured in Jerez sherry casks. The distillery focuses on single malt over blends, and a cool microclimate around the distillery that means that their casks are particularly stingy to the "angels," resulting in an incredible depth of stock. Glenfarclas also feel they share some credit for the modern day love of cask strength whisky, introducing their acclaimed 105 proof expressions back in 1968.
