Step into the rarefied air of Speyside history with the breathtaking Glenfarclas Family Cask 1968 47 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Produced by the legendary Grant family—owners of the independent Glenfarclas Distillery since 1865—the flagship Family Cask series stands among the most prestigious, complete, and highly coveted single-cask collections in the entire Scotch whisky world.
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, this Summer 2016 Release represents an irreplaceable piece of liquid history. Distilled in 1968 during the golden era of traditional Speyside distillation, the spirit was filled into single Sherry Cask #5243, where it rested quietly for nearly half a century in Glenfarclas’ famous dunnage warehouses. Aged for 47 full years before being drawn at natural cask strength of 51.2% ABV, this un-chillfiltered, naturally colored bottling preserves the maximum depth, oiliness, and profound sherry cask character achieved over four decades of oak interaction.
In the glass, it displays a captivating, deep mahogany-espresso hue with long, syrupy, slow-climbing legs. The nose opens with an exquisite, highly concentrated bouquet of dark Christmas cake, Medjool dates, dried figs, and old leather, underlaid by antique library oak, espresso bean, dark chocolate, and pipe tobacco. On the palate, a lush, full-bodied, and velvety texture delivers decadent layers of orange oil, dark molasses, candied ginger, and black maraschino cherry, masterfully counterbalanced by polished oak tannins, roasted walnuts, and warm baking spices. Bottled at natural cask strength, the finish is extraordinarily long, warm, and meditative, slowly tapering with lingering echoes of dark cocoa, rancio, sweet dried fruits, and aromatic wood spice.
