WH-GFC-022 RARE Glenfarclas 8 yo , old version , hard to find

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

🏰 Overview

This exceptionally rare old‑version of Glenfarclas 8 Year Old comes from a bygone era—featuring higher proof and vintage label styles, offering a flavour profile distinct from more recent mainstream releases. As younger age‑statements from this distillery are no longer regularly available, the 8 yo old version carries both scarcity and historical significance.

📋 Key Details

👃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich dried fruit (figs, raisins), waxed leather, tart citrus peel, spice and oak polish.

• Palate: Full-bodied yet refined; toffee, dark malt, nutmeg, licorice and a gentle peppery bite.

• Finish: Medium to long; lingering sherry sweetness, nutty oak, and subtle tobacco/leather tones.

💎 Collector Appeal

• As a younger-aged release from Glenfarclas that is no longer part of the main range, this 8 yo old version is a hidden gem for vintage whisky collecting.

• High proof and vintage label variants raise rarity and desirability.

• Ideal for collectors looking for off-the-beaten-path Glenfarclas expressions rather than common age-statements.

• Shows the early style of the distillery before later age statements and bottling practices became more standardized.

🎁 Presentation & Serving

• Ideal For: Serious whisky collectors, vintage Scotch enthusiasts, and those specialising in Speyside or sherry‑style whiskies.

• Display Appeal: Original vintage bottle with era-correct label, proof notation (e.g., 105 Proof), ideally with box or wood crate if present.

• Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate subtleties; a few drops of water can open up the aroma and soften the strength if high proof.

• Gift Potential: Suitable for milestone gifting or as a collector’s treasure—more of a showpiece than an everyday dram.
