- Description
- Distilled in 1953 and matured in a first-fill sherry cask, this represents one of Glenfarclas' oldest Family Cask releases—a founding entry in their vintage series. Nearly 70 years of maturation in active wood would have developed profound sherry integration and oxidative complexity. At 53.7% ABV, this is a museum-quality whisky for those studying how sherry cask aging shaped Speyside character across generations.
