Two casks were distilled on Christmas Eve in 1971 and bottled as part of this release. In addition to this, there are many other types of Christmas malts from Glenfarclas. While it does not possess noble nuances, it feels like a very good sherry cask from the 1970s, with a diverse range of aromas derived from that. The earthiness and woodiness were also noticeable, and I thought the slightly unrefined character was a bit typical of Glenfarclas. In the mouth, it has a rich expansion with fruity, moderately sweet flavors and acidity, as well as a balanced tannic quality from the woodiness. Although it is a cask strength whisky with depth and thickness, it does not feel harsh, offering a rather pleasant drinking experience. It was not only delicious but also evoked a warm, Christmassy feeling. I obtained this bottle from Fingal in Kagurazaka.
