Tasting Notes

Nose Rich and inviting, with notes of dried fruits, orange peel, honeyed malt, and polished oak, alongside hints of toffee and soft spice.

Finish Long and warming, with lingering sweet spice, dried fruits, and subtle oak.

Glenfarclas 36 Year Old 1985 Family Casks Release Summer 2022 is an exceptional Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, drawn from a single refill sherry hogshead (#2602) and bottled at natural cask strength by Glenfarclas Distillery. Distilled in 1985 and matured for 36 years, this remarkable vintage was bottled in July 2022 as part of the celebrated Family Casks series, with just 266 bottles released.

Matured in a refill sherry hogshead, this expression offers a beautifully balanced profile where the influence of sherry cask ageing enhances—rather than dominates—the distillery’s rich, fruity character. Decades of maturation have developed layers of dried fruit, spice, and refined oak, delivering a whisky of depth, elegance, and classic Glenfarclas style.
