Distilled on 20 November 1953, the Glenfarclas 70 years old marks a pinnacle in the distillery's legacy, embodying over seven decades of meticulous ageing and expertise.
Matured in the distillery’s traditional dunnage warehouses in Speyside, this release was laid down in first-fill sherry casks. The whisky has been overseen by six distillery managers over the past seventy years and is now available to pre-order from Whisky Galore. This 70 year old is an exceptionally rare Glenfarclas.
When it was distilled back in 1953, the malt barn would have been a hive of activity at the heart of the distillery, with barley being hand-turned on the malting floors. Today the old malt barn has been re-purposed as the tun room. This remarkable whisky comes from one of the few remaining casks of this era.
With only 262 bottles available globally, the Glenfarclas 70 year old is a landmark release that embodies rarity, provenance, and heritage. Please contact our team at any time if you have any questions about this remarkable release.
