The long-awaited return of the 40 year old Glenfarclas has arrived. This new release is packaged in an all-new wooden box that is modelled after the famous red warehouse doors of the distillery. This is one of the most complex and sophisticated whiskies we have ever stocked - aromas and flavours of prunes, dates, leather armchairs, walnuts and chocolate covered raisins, with a heart of orange segments (chocolate dipped), brown sugar and a wonderful drying oakyness - a masterpiece of a dram from one of Scotland's most beloved distilleries.

This ancient single cask bottling comes from arguably the most famous distillery in Scotland, The Glenlivet, and was filled, selected and bottled exclusively by Gordon & MacPhail. Distilled in 1954, this cask has sat undisturbed for 64 years, under the supervision of 2 generations of the Urquhart family, owners of Gordon & MacPhail. At 41% ABV, this cask has slowly shed its alcohol strength over 5 decades - any longer in the cask this could well have been lost to evaporation. Among the millions of casks maturing in Scotland, an incredibly small quantity will ever achieve a maturation period as long as this.

Cask #1412, ex-refill sherry butt. Filled 15th April 1954, bottled 27th April 2018. Outturn, just 222 bottles.

As the stocks from this era continue to evaporate and become extinct, G&M are one of the only companies in the world able to mature and bottle such remarkable liquid history.
