Glenfarclas 60 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Released in October 2014, this is the first ever 60 year old released by independent, family-owned Glenfarclas distillery, which has been matured in a single first fill Sherry butt yielding only 360 bottles.

Stunningly presented (almost beyond recognition)  in a bespoke cut crystal decanter, echoing the shape of the classic Glenfarclas bottle and hexagonal presentation box representing 6 generations of the Grant family to own and manage the distillery since 1865.

Unlike many of their counterparts, Glenfarclas remains one of the few fortunate to maintain an amazing array of quality aged casks:
'At a time when more and more distilleries are going down the no age statement route for their super premium products, we are delighted to be able to release this magnificent 60 year old Glenfarclas. My grandfather started laying down stocks for the future way back in the 50s, so it is thanks to his incredible foresight that we are able to bottle this today. I’m sure he would have been as impressed by it as I am. Matured in a first fill sherry butt, it has an incredibly dark, rich mahogany colour. It is surprisingly vibrant with lots of dried fruits, demerara sugar and spice coming through on the nose as well as the rich, oaky tannins that one would expect from a whisky of this venerable age. The sherry influence really comes through on the palate, with rich treacle, bitter coffee and espresso notes all making an appearance. The finish is the longest I have ever experienced – 20 minutes later you will still be able to taste the subtle nuances of this incredible dram.' - George Grant (Glenfarclas' Sales Director and 6th generation of the Grant Family)
