Offeed by Glenfarclas
Distillé le 26 mai 19Distilled on 26 May 1972 and bottled on 20 August 2026, this Glenfarclas comes from a single first-fill sherry butt, selected from one of the distillery’s traditional dunnage cellars. After more than 54 years of maturation, it was bottled at 47.9%, exclusively for the charity sale at Whisky Live Paris 2026.
Its mahogany colour is a testament to its long ageing in a sherry cask. Glenfarclas notes a profile profoundly shaped by this influence, uniting richness, molasses sweetness, and remarkable aromatic depth.

The distillery Glenfarclas

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: J&G Grant International. Independent & family-owned

Perhaps due to its status as an independent, family-owned distillery, Glenfarclas is a textbook case when it comes to tracing 70 years of Scotch whisky abroad. In addition to the intrinsic quality of its malt, heavily influenced by sherry cask maturation (until the late 1990s), it is also one of the most interesting brands to collect.In a time when most malt distilleries were producing in the shadow of blending companies (1950), the owners of Glenfarclas crossed sea and ocean to the United States, South Africa and Australia in order to sell their single malt. In the following decade, The Glenfarclas literally flooded the Italian market, which had something of a taste for very young malts (The Glenfarclas 5 Year Old 1971).Paying close attention to its customers' needs, the distillery released numerous bottles and labels, creating a varied range of young and aged versions, sometimes vintages, single casks, small batches and cask strengths, all whilst maintaining its authentic character. This led to a large number of limited editions bearing the name of the bar, restaurant or importer and sometimes even the name of the private client for whom the bottling had been produced.
