WH-GFC-020 RARE Glenfarclas 8 yo , old version , hard to find

🥃 Glenfarclas 8 Year Old – Old Version (Rare & Hard to Find)

🏰 Overview

This rare old‑version bottling of Glenfarclas 8 Year Old offers a glimpse into the distillery’s past: younger age statement, vintage style, and now increasingly difficult to acquire. While Glenfarclas is best known for its sherried older malts, this 8 yo release stands out for its age, rarity, and historical appeal.

📋 Key Details

👃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich dried fruits (figs, raisins), waxed leather, subtle tobacco, peppery spice.

• Palate: Dense for the age; toffee, malt, orange zest, oak polish, hint of espresso.

• Finish: Medium‑long; lingering sherry warmth, nutty oak, soft pepper, and dried fruit echo.

💎 Collector Appeal

• The 8 yo age statement from this vintage era is no longer in the core range, making it highly collectible.

• High proof versions (e.g., 105 Proof) increase rarity and desirability.

• “Old version” bottles may have label and bottle variations that appeal to historic whisky collectors.

• Ideal for collectors of Speyside or sherry-style malts, both for display and tasting.

🎁 Presentation & Serving

• Ideal For: Serious whisky collectors and vintage whisky enthusiasts.

• Display Appeal: Original bottle and label era characteristics, potential wooden box or crate, make it a standout piece.

• Serving Suggestion: Best served neat; a few drops of water may help open the aromas if high proof.

• Gift Potential: Suited for milestone gifts or as a collector’s treasure, rather than everyday gifting.
