This is the oldest Glenfarclas ever released!
Distilled on November 20th, 1953, and matured for an astonishing seventy years in first-fill sherry casks. This exceptional single malt is a tribute to time-honoured craftsmanship and Glenfarclas’ steadfast commitment to tradition. Slowly aged in the distillery’s historic dunnage warehouses in the heart of Speyside, it reflects more than seven decades of quiet maturation and dedicated stewardship by one of Scotland’s few remaining family-owned distilleries. From this extraordinary cask, only 262 bottles were drawn—of which just a precious few have been reserved for the Australian market. It stands not only as one of the oldest Glenfarclas expressions ever bottled, but also among the rarest.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Soft and smooth, with gentle tannic undertones that never overwhelm. Opens with aromas of stewed fruits and traditional Scottish dumplings. A delicate thread of Speyside peat – drawn from the slopes of Ben Rinnes – adds a lightly earthy, smoky nuance. The sweetness deepens, revealing layers of fruit compote, honeyed malt, and a quiet richness.
Palate: Dark chocolate laced with sherry-soaked dried fruits gives way to a refreshingly spicy tingle on the palate, leading to a bold thread of rich, roasted coffee. The mouthfeel is luxuriously coated in treacle toffee, creating a full-bodied, indulgent texture.
Finish: The finish lingers and effortlessly clings to the roof of the mouth. Delicate peat resurfaces, rolling gently across the tongue with a green, grassy echo of Speyside origins. This is Glenfarclas to its core.
