Trace nearly four decades of dunnage tranquillity with Glenfarclas 38 Year Old – 1975 Vintage, “Family Casks” Release A14 (Autumn 2014).
Filled on 15 May 1975 into a single refill hogshead (#5040) and left undisturbed in the Grant family warehouses, this venerable Speyside malt was finally drawn at natural cask strength in July 2014. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, just 220 individually numbered bottles reveal Glenfarclas’s honey-malt heart elevated by layers of polished oak, dried fruit and soft rancio spice.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • Single-cask pedigree: full-term maturation in a refill hogshead adds refined oak spice while letting Glenfarclas’s orchard fruit and sherry tones shine.

  • 38 years polish the spirit into layers of mahogany sweetness, honeyed resin and subtle rancio complexity.

  • Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour—preserving authentic texture, aroma and a deep antique-amber hue.

  • Part of the revered “Family Casks” series—Release A14, limited to 220 bottles, a crown jewel for collectors and sherried-malt aficionados.

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

Pour a measure of this 1975 Glenfarclas and savour an unforgettable union of honeyed depth, elegant sherry richness and time-honed sophistication—an extraordinary dram that lingers long after the final sip.
