Portrait: What makes the Glenfarclas 105 Cask strength special

In 1968, George S. Grant filled a single Cask for the first time. in Cask strength - as a Christmas present for friends and family.
This Cask had 105° British Proof - i.e. 60%vol. Alcohol content.
Since then, Glenfarclas has selected special Casks for this bottling and blended them together so that without adding water an alcohol content of 60%vol. is achieved.
