A very unique and seldom seen bottle at auctions:

Glenfarclas 1971 Grant Bonding Co 5 Year Old / Co. Pinerolo Import

Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired stills produce a heavy single malt that is almost exclusively matured in Jerez sherry casks. The distillery focuses on single malt over blends, and a cool microclimate around the distillery that means that their casks are particularly stingy to the "angels," resulting in an incredible depth of stock. Glenfarclas also feel they share some credit for the modern day love of cask strength whisky, introducing their acclaimed 105 proof expressions back in 1968.  

Like many other distilleries in the 1960s and 1970s, Glenfarclas licensed its single malt brand to Gordon & MacPhail who produced official releases using their Grant Bonding Co subsidiary. As the single malt category began to grow in popularity, many distilleries began to reclaim control of their brands, and Glenfarclas was one of them, bottling their own whisky for the first time in 1979.

This was distilled in 1971 and imported to Italy by Co. Import. 5 year old whisky has always been a popular style of single malt in Italy, first promoted in the 1960s by Armando Giovinetti who believed it was better suited to compete with the Grappa-loving tastes of his countrymen.

Note damage to the box. Note some sediment in the bottle.
