Glenfarclas Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Glenfarclas 105 is the original cask strength single malt Scotch whisky — a true piece of whisky history that has been making serious enthusiasts very happy since 1968. Glenfarclas was the first distillery to release a cask strength single malt whisky in 1968 — the "105" in the name refers to 105 British proof, the equivalent of 60% ABV by modern standards. Rather than simply dumping a single cask into bottles, Glenfarclas carefully selects and combines barrels so their combined proof hits exactly 60% — a remarkably precise achievement that renders water addition unnecessary while maintaining true cask strength status. Matured in a combination of ex-Oloroso and ex-Fino sherry casks for approximately 8-10 years, the 105 is a sherry bomb in the best possible sense. The nose is very intense and powerful with cooked apples, pears, and dominant sherry notes, while the palate is an explosion of sherry sweetness with liquorice, dates, brazil nuts, and alcohol sweetness — water brings out caramel and dark chocolate beautifully. Well-balanced, full-bodied, and oily with a long finish of sherry, malt, and ashy cocoa. Named Malt Maniacs' Best Bang for your Buck whisky in 2004 — and it still earns that title.
