Lovely dark teak colour.

A big, powerful nose with notes of dark fruits, berries and a hint of peat smoke.

Very light on the front of the mouth, dancing across your tongue as if it was eager to give you its sherry, honey, marzipan and burnt chocolate flavours.

Everlasting finish, with some caramelised toffee. This whisky is so filling; your bottle will last a long time.

Dark rich toffee in colour.

This whisky reminds me of our tradtional dunnage warehouses - earthy and woody with a light hint of peat. It's a whisky that deserves your time just to enjoy all the aromas.

It's oaky and winey, but not as overpowering on the sherry as you might expect from the colour. There is a lovely feeling as the flavours engulf your taste buds with chocolate, coffee and sherry.

The finish is full of dark chocolate, and a never-ending whisky flavour that stays with you for hours.

What a colour! Dark, robust amber.

Our third selection from 1960 has a rather soft nose, due to the relatively low alcohol strength. It has that great new-car smell - one with leather seats, of course. Lots of sherry; young fresh sherry.

The dram presents an amazing mouth-filling experience. Wow! It is a little smoky, silky and slightly bitter. Think toasted almonds and rich Madeira cake.

The finish is long and elegant, and doesn't disappoint.

Exquisite dark peated amber.

A beautiful rich, fruity nose – astonishing for a whisky which is over 45 years old.  Very sweet; almost toffee apple sweet.
 
A big whisky, perfect in front of an open fire. It’s a real armchair whisky; one that you can sit and enjoy for a very long time. Like a very heavy sherry, or a heavy treacle pudding sprinkled with Christmas spices.
 
The long, rich finish seems to last for hours, and oozes toffee sweetness.

After being enticed by its lovely, rich, dark copper colour, experience the fruity aroma of our third selection from 1961. The nose also offers light tannins, almonds and a hint of soft leather.

Although this whisky is quite a considerable age, it has a lot of youthful spiciness to it. Vibrant, I would say. There is some smokiness, but it is not at all overpowering. Instead, delicate light violet notes give way to a big sherry-sweet finish. If you like a big sherried whisky, you'll love this one.

The lovely long finish to this gem of a whisky has a great bitter chocolate end to it. Just like our previous 1961s, it's a fantastic vintage.

A very rich dark colour, with a Demerara sugar flavour.

A softly peated nose. I suggest warming your glass in your hands. As you do this, the whisky comes alive with spicy, oaky and floral attributes.

There is some liquorice and sweet sherry fullness captivating your taste buds, a chewy whisky you are going to spend a long time savouring.

Although a typical Glenfarclas, the sherry is not too overpowering, as it still allows the soft peat flavours to materialise alongside some bitter chocolate.

The first thing you notice is the colour: a bold, rich red.

Then a surprise: it's light and refreshing on the nose, not what you would expect from a whisky of this age - or this strength. Instead, fresh peaches and pears present on the nose.

The fruitiness, however, is almost completely gone on the taste, replaced by a bold sherry experience. It fills your mouth completely and is very dry (almost a little musty).

A light smokiness with some oakiness is also present but nothing you wouldn't normally expect from a 46-year-old whisky. At 52%, this whisky has also kept its strength amazingly well. Don't be frightened to add a drop of water, which releases many more exciting aromas, more earthy notes, and marzipan.

The lovely, long, mouth-filling finish completes another great from Glenfarclas.

A lovely rich, dark whisky – colour more often associated with a dark cognac.

A big heavy-sherried whisky; great if you like them big and powerful. It is more than 40 years old but has lost none of its appeal. Still strong but not overpowering. Some vanilla and citrus present at the back of your mouth – almost like the caramelized fruit you’d find in a fruit cake.

A wonderful long finish sitting heavily at the back of your mouth. Sherry flavours and fruit cake wonderfully balanced.

Dark copper in colour – like an old still.

Elegant and refined on the nose. Floral, with candyfloss sweetness. Youthful for its age. Another surprise from The Family Casks collection.

Let this dram breathe and you will be rewarded with lovely flavours of apples and pears topped with a heavy dose of sherry.

A crescendo of a finish, with the whole orchestra playing together. Lots of dark chocolate.

Rich, bright gold.

Lots of toffee on the nose, alongside pear drops. Quite a dry nose. This is a light whisky that dances across your palate. Very fresh with some deep sweetness apparent at the back of the mouth.

It’s a whisky that does appear to open up significantly with a little air, and is much richer after being in the glass for several minutes. More heathery notes apparent.

A long lingering finish with a little smoky aftertaste.

A dark amber colour with lots of warmth.

A very fresh nose – flawless after 40 years – with a hint of the sweetness of toffee caramel.

It is a full whisky with a slight spiciness on the palate. Very warm with a little tannin coming through on the aftertaste.

All in all, it’s a beautiful full-bodied whisky with all the flavours and experiences you could wish for from a 40-year-old dram.

Dark amber gold, a complex full-bodied Glenfarclas.  Intense aromas rich tones of liquorice, cinnamon, raisins, vanilla and honey and a hint of peat smoke.
Also some earthy undertones present.

Sweet layer of honey caramel and toffee.

Gloriously smooth, smoky and a long-lasting finish. A whisky that has aged very well.

Dark amber.

Spicy on the nose, with orange zest in good quanities. Not just any oranges - oranges that have been covered with cloves, like we used to have at Christmas.

The taste is similar to the nose, with more orange cloves leading to sweetness. It evokes memories of Christmas morning - the excitement and anticipation of opening your presents and finding everything you wanted, and much more.

It has a beautiful, long buttery and fruity finish, with some light nuttiness. In short, it's another Glenfarclas gem.

A dark amber-bronze colour. Full-bodied Glenfarclas, very deep and mature, complex fruit, sultanas and marmalade. A strong powerful Glenfarclas, I believe it is the strongest we have ever released at this age.

The aromas are intense with rich tones of honey, vanilla, liquorice, cinnamon, raisins, and a hint of peat smoke.

This whisky has many layers to delve through. It is like a layered cake with fruit on top, honey caramel and toffee in the middle, with dry oaky spiciness and a slightly smoky finish.

Very deep bronze.

Another full-bodied and heavily-sherried Glenfarclas, but quite peaty for us.

Spicy yet sweet; a complex palate that evolves. Add a drop of water and enjoy the whisky as it opens up, revealing a mix of maltiness and sherry in your mouth. The water also lets you enjoy the flavours for longer.

A little vanilla on the aftertaste. Strong yet very warming.

Rich and dark, it's almost the colour of old mahogany that has been polished too much.

This 1969 possesses a wonderful balance of age, fruit and wood - a great accomplishment for a whisky of this age.

It has full mouth-filling flavours of light sherry, light spiciness and light nuttiness but leaves you with an all-over feeling of power held back by light delicate flavours. Then, near the end, molasses, almonds and rich chocolate.

This strong, dark red whisky is a great all-rounder - just fantastic from nose to finish.

It is more than 55% Vol. and the strength is a apparent on the trademark Glenfarclas nose, which is heavily sherried and rich with fruit - lots of fresh ripe plums and nectarines.

Although a dry, heavy, solid whisky, there is also lovely sweetness from start to finish. Toffee, then a little light tannin, and a bitter sweetness to finish. It doesn't disappoint.

Lovely dark mahogany.

WOW what a nose, so much sweetness on the nose just bursting to get out.

A whisky very comparable to a beautiful Armagnac, which practically melts in your mouth, very warming, a whisky that has Glenfarclas written all over it. Spectacular for a 40 year old dram.

A lingering lovely aftertaste, could still taste this whisky in my mouth an hour after drinking it. Lovely cocoa beans dissolving in the back of your mouth, again WOW.
