Glenfarclas 105 16-Year-Old Cask Strength Highland Single Malt Whisky, 60%

In 1968, Chairman George S Grant (4^th generation) selected and bottled a cask at natural strength for family and friends as a Christmas gift. The selected cask was 105° British proof which is equivalent to 60% alcohol by volume. The high strength whisky was so popular that George continued to bottle Glenfarclas at 105° proof making it what we believe to be the first official release of cask strength Scotch whisky in the world. And so the Glenfarclas 105 was born!

This special edition of 105 consists of casks that have aged beautifully whilst maintaining their incredible high strength, giving us this very limited bottling of 16-year-old Glenfarclas at 60% alcohol by volume. Carefully selected and created by Glenfarclas Distillery Manager, Callum A Fraser and Managing Director, Douglas Belford this outstanding expression embodies the renowned Glenfarclas style.

A limited edition release of 5,280 bottles globally, there are just 360 bottles of the 105 16-Year-Old available in the UK!
