Glenfarclas distillery and BI Wine and Spirits releases the Stillmen’s dram

Though the Spirit of Speyside whisky festival, which was set to take place in late April, had to be cancelled due to the spread of COVID-19, the family owned Glenfarclas distillery and London-based merchant BI Wine and Spirits have teamed up to release the 2020 distillery exclusive. BI will be donating 10 percent of sales of this unique whisky to the Moray Food Plus food bank.

Each year, different members from the Glenfarclas distillery team choose a whisky to be sold as the limited release at the festival. The honour of choosing the 2020 exclusive went to the team at the very heart of the whisky making process – the still men.

The so-called ‘Stillmen’s Dram’ is a single cask bottling of 2009 liquid. Aged for 10 years in First-Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt #1446, this release was bottled at a cask of 60.1 percent, resulting in a limited run of 658 bottles. The dram offers a complex balance of rich candied fruit and sherry oak spice.

The bottles are to be made available for purchase from 18 th  July 2020 through BI Wine and Spirits’ online platform. They would have an RSP of £100.
