Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunk (1000cl, 50.6%) – £105,000.00
Glenfarclas Family Trunk Bottling Note
The Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunk is a spectacular addition to the Glenfarclas’ Family Cask collection, believed to be the most expansive single collection ever released by one distillery. Hardly surprising, considering it contains every vintage made by the Speyside distillery between 1954 and 2003 – that’s 50 (fifty!) 200ml bottles of Glenfarclas goodness!
But that’s not all. The unique collection is housed in a custom-made trunk, modelled on old shipping luggage, jam-packed with plenty of awesome Glenfarclas extras. Extras like a replica of the oldest known painting of the distillery (the original from 1791, which now hangs in the Glenfarclas Private Dining Room); four slate coasters; and three hand-printed and bound leather books – one with tasting notes for each vintage from George Grant, another for your own tasting notes, and one with information on the history of the distillery.
Oh, and it also includes four tumblers, four nosing glasses and a water jug, all made by Glencairn Crystal. The Glenfarclas Family Cask Trunk is a bit like Mary Poppins’ handbag, only miles better. Only 60 have been released worldwide, because life isn’t fair.

“I will forgive the tiredness as the oak gains hold. It is natural and to be expected. Instead I will savour those fruity depths on both nose and delivery and the beguiling development of the faint honey notes which guarantee and maintain the complexity to be found. This, after all these ridiculous years, is imperfect perfection.” – Jim Murray (95.5 Points)

Unveiled in mid-2018 as part of the distillery’s core range relaunch, this expression spends five decades slumbering away before being bottled. Our Kristy remarked on “…how surprisingly fresh it was on the palate, the blackcurrant ginger, nutmeg, dried tobacco, dark cherry, roasted pineapple and general unctuousness…” at the launch (which you can read more about over on the blog).
