Glenfarclas 105 12 Years - Exclusive Hourglass Edition

Glenfarclas 105 12 Years - Exclusive Hourglass Edition

Introduction & Overview

Speyside’s Glenfarclas introduces a new milestone with the 105 12 Years – Exclusive Hourglass Edition, a limited release showcasing their iconic 105 expression now aged for 12 years. Bottled at the signature 105 British Proof (60% ABV), this edition stands out for its full 12-year maturation exclusively in powerful Oloroso sherry casks, delivering a rich and complex whisky experience that highlights Glenfarclas’ mastery of cask selection and strength retention. This release marks the first time Glenfarclas 105 carries an age statement, adding a fresh level of exclusivity to the famed cask strength range.

Design & Presentation

The whisky is presented in a distinctive golden hourglass design, symbolizing the traditional time-honored craftsmanship and the slow maturation process in Dunnage warehouses. This elegant packaging visually reflects the whisky’s heritage and the meticulous aging behind the 105’s unique character.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This edition owes its intense depth to a careful selection of the strongest Oloroso sherry casks, which maintain a natural 60% alcohol content even after 12 years. The resulting profile offers complex sherry aromas combined with warming spice, underpinning the full-bodied, rich character typical of Glenfarclas’ 105 series.

A rarity in whisky maturation, these casks demonstrate exceptional cask management and contribute to one of Scotland’s most renowned single malts.

Release & Availability

Limited to 4,200 bottles, the Glenfarclas 105 12 Years – Exclusive Hourglass Edition arrives in September, with an MSRP of €99.90. Collectors and whisky enthusiasts will find this release a notable addition to Glenfarclas’ historic 105 lineup.
