Glenfarclas 105 – Exclusive Hourglass Limited Edition – The legendary Cask Strength Pioneer

- Limited to 4200 bottles -

The Glenfarclas 105 – 12 Year Old Exclusive Hourglass Limited Edition marks a historic milestone: For the first time, an age-related bottling of the legendary 105 series is being released, a series that has been making history as a pioneer of commercial cask strength whisky since 1968. This limited special edition, exclusively for Germany, combines tradition, craftsmanship, and the unadulterated power of Speyside character in an exceptional bottling.

Taste experience

The 12-year maturation took place exclusively in powerful Oloroso sherry casks until the whisky reached its natural 60% ABV – entirely without dilution or artificial intervention. The result is a complex, warming, and full-bodied dram that reflects the full intensity of sherry maturation. Expect deep notes of dried fruit, spicy oak, dark chocolate, and the characteristic nutty Oloroso note, harmoniously blended with the natural sweetness of the Speyside character.

Special feature

This bottling is more than just a whisky – it's a piece of whisky history. As the first commercially released cask strength single malt, the 105 series set standards in 1968 that remain valid to this day. The new 12-year-old edition honors this legacy with uncompromising quality: non-chill filtered, uncolored, a genuine natural product at cask strength. The elegant hourglass design of the packaging symbolizes time as the most important factor in whisky maturation and makes this bottling a true collector's item.
