Glenfarclas: 15yo, 21yo & 25yo

Rickus & Hursty try to tame the Spirit of Independence.

More Johns and Georges than you can poke a stick at. Maybe a couple of Pauls too, but alas; no Ringos. If you know of a distillery with a more impressive core range, we’d like to see it! One of the oldest family run distilleries takes us on a sherry influenced journey of whiskies that have spent more time in wood.

The boys dive in to some superbly aged sherry cask finished whiskies, and Hursty educates us on the process of ageing sherry; how it may be a bit different than what you think it is and how it's nothing like whisky. So pour a well-aged glass of something special and settle in!

Whether you're at the cricket, smashing tinnies and BBQing with mates, lazing by the pool listening to Triple J's hottest 100 or celebrating in any other way you see fit; we hope you're doing it with a dram in hand (as it's worth two in the bush).
