Glenfarclas 70 Year Old Warehouse Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

At the time of writing, this is the oldest Glenfarclas ever released.

Distilled on 20 November 1953, the 70-Year-Old marks a pinnacle in Glenfarclas's legacy, embodying over seven decades of meticulous expertise. It was fully matured in the distillery's traditional dunnage warehouses in a single 1st Fill Sherry Butt. The original contents equated to approximately 500 litres. Of what was left, 262 bottles were filled in June 2025 at a natural strength of 42.9% Alc./Vol., and just 15 of those were allocated to Australia.

It's very rare for any distillery to be able to hold onto stocks for a period of 70 years. Most often distilleries will sell their whisky at a much younger age, but being one of the last family owned and managed distilleries in Scotland, Glenfarclas maintain the option of keeping casks for a longer, then releasing them when the time is right. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can just sit and wait 70 years and you'll have an amazing whisky. Casks will mature at different rates, so for any older casks you must monitor them for alcohol strength, aroma, character and flavour profiles. Needless to say, Glenfarclas are very proud to be able to offer their oldest ever product to date.

Notes from the producers... Colour - Polished dark teak. Aroma - Stewed fruits and traditional Scottish dumpling. Flavour - 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. Finish - Delicate peat resurfaces, rolling gently across the tongue with a green, grassy echo of Speyside origins.
