The Glenfarclas Easter Edition Vintage 2016 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited special bottling that reflects the classic style of the traditional family distillery Glenfarclas Distillery in particular depth. Re-launched, this Easter Edition was distilled in 2016 and matured entirely in the distillery's most precious Oloroso sherry casks. The maturation took place in the traditional Dunnage Warehouses, whose cool, constant climate favours the slow development of complex flavours. Bottled at 46%, this limited edition is full-bodied, structured and elegant, with a clear focus on sherry-toned depth and maturity.

The choice of cask is central to the character of this bottling. The Oloroso sherry casks are personally selected by Chairman John L. S. Grant at the family-run Bodega José y Miguel Martín. The elaborate cask production, including air-drying of the wood for up to 18 months, forms the basis for the intense, elegant style. The full maturation in these casks leaves a lasting impression on the whisky and gives it complex sherry flavours, pronounced fruity notes, dark chocolate and a Demerara sweetness on the finish. This is complemented by the "Made to Age" philosophy, traditional direct-fired stills and storage in Dunnage Warehouses - four principles that together stand for top quality.

As a festive dram for special occasions, this limited Easter Edition also impresses with its structure, balance and pleasantly long-lasting presence.
