Unlock a mid-century treasure with Glenfarclas 1959 – “Family Casks” Release W15 (Winter 2015).
Filled on 23 April 1959 into a lone sherry-seasoned hogshead (#1822) and left undisturbed in the Grant family dunnage for over five decades, this venerable Speyside malt was drawn at natural cask strength in August 2015. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 127 individually numbered bottles reveal an opulent tapestry of dark-fruit preserve, polished mahogany and rancio-laced spice—Glenfarclas sherry grandeur at its rarest.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • Single-cask pedigree: full-term maturation in a sherry hogshead saturates the spirit with decadent dried-fruit richness, dark-chocolate depth and exotic spice.

  • 56 years of slumber polish Glenfarclas’s orchard-fruit core into layers of mahogany sweetness, honeyed resin and elegant rancio complexity.

  • Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour—delivering undiluted body, aroma and a deep antique-ruby hue.

  • Part of the iconic “Family Casks” series—Release W15, strictly 127 bottles, a crown jewel for collectors and sherried-malt connoisseurs.

  • Exemplifies Glenfarclas’s hallmark harmony of dark fruit, polished oak and warming spice at its most luxurious and age-defining.

Pour a measure of this 1959 masterpiece and savour an unforgettable union of honeyed depth, opulent sherry richness and time-honed elegance—an extraordinary whisky that resonates long after the final sip.

Tasting Notes

Nose Lush fig compôte, date syrup and Seville-orange marmalade drift over beeswax-polished oak, cigar box and a hint of mocha. Palate Velvet waves of treacle toffee, black-cherry chocolate and malt loaf coat the tongue, followed by clove-spiked caramel, walnut oil and a bright flash of candied citrus peel. Finish Long, warming and gracefully dry—lingering sherry-soaked fruitcake, supple oak tannin, subtle rancio leather and a final whisper of vanilla-malt sweetness.
