The Macphun (Glenfarclas)
Lot number: 016596
Winning bid: £50
With thanks to Loch Fyne Whiskies for this description.
"The Macphunn" was the whisky of Sir Fitzroy Maclean's hotel, The Creggans in Strachur across Loch Fyne from Inveraray. Named after Archie Macphunn who was hung 'till deid' for sheep stealing in about 1608 - yet recovered once revived with an interesting whisky cocktail.
Sir Fitzroy is no longer with us but his son Charles Maclean (no, not that one) has revived the brand. For his first bottling Charles Maclean (yes that one) has selected a single cask of an 18 year old sherry matured Speyside single malt and it is exceptional, a yield of under 300 bottles .
18 years old, 70cl and bottled at 57.2%
