Glenfarclas Family Cask 1968 175th Anniversary Luc Timmermans Presentation Set

Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside's independent whisky producers. The Grant family have been running Glenfarclas since 1860, producing an individual Speyside malt that many whisky enthusiasts number as one of their favourites. The water source is melt water from the slopes of Ben Rinnes which runs through granite and heather before reaching Glenfarclas (meaning 'the valley of green grass'). With a long history of bottlings stretching back to the early 20th Century, both proprietary and independent.

A rare and exclusive official distillery bottling in the Family Casks series for the noted Belgian collector and Glenfarclas enthusiast Luc Timmermans. 175 bottles were produced as Timmermans' tribute to the distillery's 175th anniversary. Contained within a superb oak casket, which also bears two crystal glasses, a commemorative book (signed by Timmerman, George Grant and author Ian Buxton), and a copy of Buxton's History of Glenfarclas in a hidden pocket.
