Glenfarclas 58 Years Old 1953

About this bottle
The whisky has received numerous positive reviews and has been noteworthy because at this age the tendency is for the wood to overpower the flavour of the whisky. This is not the case with this incredible Glenfarclas, and from every source, we found it seems to receive glowing feedback. One we'd really love to try here at JW.
Bottled at natural cask strength and without colour or chill filtration.
The spirit itself was first distilled on the 20th November 1953 and it was aged in a First Fill Sherry Butt until finally being bottled some 58 years later.
Originally presented to clients of Wealth Solutions, a respected alternative investment firm based in Poland.
This Lot comes complete with book written by Ian Buxton, and includes tasting notes from Charles MacLean.

The family-owned distillery that everyone speaks fondly of, Glenfarclas was established in 1836 by Robert Hay, who owned the distillery for 3 decades before the Grant family arrived on the scene. It has never left their hands since. The nearest anyone has gotten to owning the distillery was the infamous Pattison company in 1895, who subsequently went bankrupt 3 years later and almost took the distillery with them. The Grant’s vowed never again and over 120 years later, that’s proved to be the case. Glenfarclas has been associated with sherry casks and an impressive maturing inventory as displayed in their family cask range. It remains one of the top-selling single malts worldwide because of its dedication, consistency and affordability. Their age statement range, compared to other Speyside distilleries, doesn’t cost the earth and is widely available. The Glenfarclas character has many fans, thanks to quality casks, direct-fired stills and the use of rummagers, which add to the quality of the whisky.
