Unearth a mid-century masterpiece with Glenfarclas 1959 – “Family Casks” Release SP15 (Spring 2015).
Filled on 23 April 1959 into a lone sherry-seasoned hogshead (#3226) and laid to rest in the Grant family’s cool stone dunnage, this venerable Speyside malt slumbered for more than half a century before being drawn at natural cask strength in November 2014. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 172 individually numbered bottles preserve a spellbinding tapestry of dark fruit, polished mahogany and rancio-tinged spice.

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 refined spice.

  • 55 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—preserving undiluted body, aroma and its deep antique-ruby hue.

  • Part of the iconic “Family Casks” series—Release SP15, strictly 172 bottles, a crown-jewel for collectors and sherried-malt devotees.

  • Exemplifies Glenfarclas’s hallmark harmony of dark fruit, polished oak and warming spice at mature, contemplative age.

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