Glenfarclas The Family Casks #1768 Autumn 2014 Whisky 58 Year Old · 1956 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Opulent, time-warmed nose of antique oak and polished leather, layered with sherry-cask fruit: fig, date and dried plum, brightened by orange zest. Notes of cacao, toffee and vanilla unfold, with gentle spice and a whisper of tobacco, all held in a refined, long-aged bouquet.

Palate

Silky and sherried, this 58-year Glenfarclas coats the palate with dried fig and raisin, orange zest and polished oak. A waxy sweetness and gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—unfold slowly, then fade to a long, dignified finish of fruit, toffee and leather.

Finish

An exquisitely long finish that lingers with sherried warmth. Rich dried fruits—raisin, fig and plum—mingle with toasted oak, subtle cocoa and toffee, and a hint of spice. The 58 years have woven a silky tail that fades to walnut and a whisper of leather, leaving the palate warm and elegantly renewed.
