This particular bottle is not a general commercial release. It was a private bottling, commissioned and specially engraved for the 22 Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment. As a private commission, these bottles were not widely available to the public. They were likely produced in limited quantities for members of the regiment, which makes them much rarer than the standard Glenfarclas 12-year-old.
It holds value not just for whisky enthusiasts but also for collectors of military memorabilia. The connection to the legendary SAS regiment adds a significant layer of historical and collectible appeal.
In short, this is not just a bottle of whisky; it’s a commemorative item with a direct link to one of the world’s most famous military units. Upon purchase I can tell who owned this bottle as it is a well known SAS member on TV now. Also due to the high price we will donate 25% of this purchase to Motor Neurone Disease Charity as the bottle was originally gifted to a person with MND
