Description

Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength is a robust and powerful single malt Scotch whisky from the family-owned Glenfarclas Distillery in Speyside. First released in 1968, it was a pioneering expression as the first commercially available cask strength single malt. Bottled at 60% ABV, it is known for its rich, sherry-forward profile and is often described as a 'sherry bomb'. It is matured in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, and is non-chill filtered.
