Distilled in 1956, it boasts a remarkable age of 57 years, showcasing Glenfarclas's commitment to long-term cask maturation.
Exclusively aged in Oloroso sherry casks, particularly three casks (#1762, #1774, and #2356) filled between June and October 1956, it develops a rich and vibrant character, characterized by intense notes of dried fruits, spices, and honey.
As part of the Family Collector Series II, a limited-edition collection honoring six generations of the Grant family's ownership of Glenfarclas, it pays homage to specific family members, notably George Grant in the 1956 release.
With only 660 bottles ever released, it holds an unparalleled rarity, making it highly sought-after by collectors and whisky enthusiasts.
