DESCRIPTION:

Glenfarclas 1953 - 58 year old single cask whiskey with 0.7 liters and 43.9% vol.
The Speyside distillery Glenfarclas is known for its vintage bottlings and with the Glenfarclas 1953 comes a wonderful single cask whiskey with 700 ml and 43.9% vol. With a storage of almost six decades, this exceptional whiskey is a premium Scotch of a special class and probably older than many a connoisseur who will drink it. After 58 years of aging in the Glenfarclas cellars, this single cask whiskey has been bottled. Only one sherry butt was opened and this limited edition was created from it. Less than 100 bottles could be won in total, the rest have been lost over the long time as Angels Share. The Angels Share is the proportion of whiskey that has evaporated through the cask wall over the years and is lost forever.

The Glenfarclas 1953 whiskey comes stylishly and elegantly packaged in a crystal glass decanter that holds 700 ml. Safely packed in a sturdy wooden box so that the bottle doesn't break and the precious drop doesn't get lost. With its strict limitation to 97 bottles, the valuable Glenfarclas whiskey underlines its specialness. The barrel with the number #1682 was emptied down to the last drop and even the employees of the distillery were amazed when bottling this luxury whiskey.

More information about Glenfarclas 1953 with 58 years of maturation
For those who want to know the details, the distillery also publishes facts and figures about the whiskey. At Glenfarclas, one learns that this whiskey was distilled on November 25, 1953 and was filled into the Sherry Cask 1682 on the same day. On September 20, 2012, the aging period ended and the few 700 ml bottles were filled. The single cask bottling bears the marks of age. Aroma and taste are clearly dominated by bittersweet cocoa, oak and heavy toffee. Dried fruits can also be seen and the Glenfarclas Single Malt Whiskey is extremely complex on the palate.

Bottled at natural cask strength of 43.9% vol., no chill filtration was done on purpose. Important and volatile aromas could have been lost in this process. With a whiskey that is almost 60 years old, you no longer need any additional colourings. The sherry cask has already left its mark and developed a beautiful mahogany tone.
