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)

Whiskeria’s own Charles Maclean notes: “Amber with long-lingering beading. A mellow nose-feel, with slight prickle after a while. The highly perfumed initial aroma – scented hand-cream, attar of roses, carnations – reduces in time, infused by notes of almond oil and oak shavings, with a trace of vanilla. A drop of water enhances the wood notes. A smooth texture and a sweet taste, drying in the spicy finish, with a suggestion of Friar’s Balsam medicine and a cooling mentholic aftertaste. ”

Littlemill Testament 1976 Description
Littlemill Testament is now officially the distillery’s oldest release to date, having been distilled on 4th October 1976. This impressive whisky was re-casked in 1996 into American oak hogsheads by master distiller Michael Henry, before he then vatted three of the casks into two first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads for four months. He then married all the liquid together for a final two months before it was bottled in 2020 at 42.5% abv.
Just 250 bottles of this limited release have been created, each one presented in a hand-blown glass decanter and a dress stopper made from the distillery’s natural sandstone.
The nose has green apples and pears, fresh citrus and ginger, with more vibrant fruits bursting on a sweet and zesty palate. The creamy mouthfeel paves the way for a long finish with gentle spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. Sublime.
