The Glenfarclas THE FAMILY CASKS Single Cask SUMMER 2021 4th Fill Butt 1993 is a strictly limited-edition single cask bottling from the Glenfarclas Distillery and epitomises the distillery’s long-standing family philosophy. The Family Casks series holds a special place in the hearts of connoisseurs and collectors, as each bottling comes from a single cask and thus possesses a distinctive character. Distilled in 1993 and bottled on 9 June 2021, this Speyside single malt Scotch whisky matured for decades in a 4th-fill butt, cask number 4669.


Maturation in a 4th-fill butt means that the cask has already been used several times, resulting in a finer and more subtle influence from the wood and allowing the distillate room to develop its own depth. Bottled at cask strength at 57.6%, this is an authentic cask-strength single malt, undiluted, combining power, structure and elegance. This rare vintage is presented in a high-quality wooden box, which emphasises its exclusive collector’s status. The overall impression is complex, expressive and long-lasting, with classic Speyside character.
