Glenfarclas 'Rechlerich' 1964 Norse Cask Selection 40 Year Old

An unusual bottling of Glenfarclas, distilled in 1964 and here bottled under the pseudonym, Rechlerich after the nearby hamlet in Moray.

This Norse Cask Selection bottling is a single cask, drawn from sherry butt #QW1574 which was specially selected by WhiskyOwner.com.

Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired stills 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.

Impressively aged at 40 years old, this was bottled in 2005.

One of 515 bottles.
