The Glenfarclas THE FAMILY CASKS Single Cask SUMMER 2024 from Plain Butt #1972, at 55.5% ABV, in a 0.7-litre bottle presented in a high-quality wooden box, is a strictly limited single-cask release from Speyside, which showcases the distillery’s unadulterated character. Distilled in 2003 and bottled on 31 July 2024, this edition comes from the historic Glenfarclas Distillery. Bottled as a single cask whisky at cask strength, this release is presented in its natural form, without chill filtration or colouring. The worldwide limited run of 564 bottles underlines the exclusivity of this summer edition.


The whisky was matured for many years in a plain butt, a type of cask that is more neutral than sherry casks and thus allows for a clear, structured development. This maturation process highlights the characteristic style of Glenfarclas and ensures depth, balance and a precise texture. The 55.5% ABV lends the whisky character and vibrancy without compromising the harmony achieved through its long maturation. The presentation in a wooden box rounds off the overall impression of high quality, making this Family Casks bottling a sought-after choice for connoisseurs and collectors.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep amber with a reddish sheen.

Nose: Rich aromas of raisins, figs, notes of aged leather, oaky spice, dark honey and sherry.

Palate: Full-bodied, velvety and complex with nuances of dried fruit, cocoa, cinnamon, muscovado sugar and toasted oak.

Finish: Very long, spicy and deep with lingering sweetness and an elegant sherry note.

The Glenfarclas THE FAMILY CASKS SUMMER 2024 is ideal for enjoying neat during quiet moments, preferably allowing it some time in the glass so that its full depth can unfold. Given its cask strength, gently adding a few drops of water is also recommended to reveal additional facets. This bottling is aimed at experienced whisky enthusiasts and collectors who value single cask whiskies, limited editions and a clearly documented cask history, and is equally a highlight for special occasions as well as for discerning tastings.
