Tasting Notes

Nose Layered aromas of dried fruits, orange peel, honeyed malt, and polished oak, with hints of soft spice and toffee. Palate Rich and composed, offering notes of raisins, baked apple, caramel, and gentle spice, supported by a refined oak backbone. Finish Long and warming, with lingering sweet spice, dried fruits, and subtle oak.

Glenfarclas 1982 Family Casks Release Winter 2017 is a distinguished Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, drawn from a single refill hogshead (#4565) and bottled at natural cask strength by Glenfarclas Distillery. Distilled in 1982 and matured for over three decades, this exceptional vintage was bottled in November 2017 as part of the acclaimed Family Casks series—renowned for its transparency, provenance, and traditional sherry-led house style.

Matured in a refill hogshead, this 1982 vintage offers a beautifully balanced and refined profile, where long ageing has softened the oak influence and allowed Glenfarclas’ rich fruit character to shine. The result is a complex, elegant whisky that combines depth with finesse.
