Glenfarclas 1962 – 50yo Family Casks #3245 (Release A13)

A profound and historic Speyside malt, this 50-year-old release from Glenfarclas Distillery stands among the most distinguished expressions in the celebrated Family Casks series. Distilled in 1962 and bottled in 2013 as part of Release A13, it represents half a century of patient maturation under the stewardship of one of Scotland’s last truly independent whisky families.

Drawn from a single sherry hogshead (#3245) and bottled at 45.3% ABV, this whisky embodies the timeless Glenfarclas style - deeply influenced by sherry cask ageing, yet defined by elegance and balance rather than excess. Fifty years in oak have allowed the spirit to evolve with remarkable composure, developing layers of antique wood, dried fruits, soft spice, and polished richness, all carried with the quiet authority of long maturation.

With only 169 bottles released, this expression is both a collector’s treasure and a living archive of traditional Speyside whisky-making. As part of the Family Casks series - a range dedicated to showcasing single casks from across Glenfarclas’ history - it offers an unrepeatable glimpse into the distillery’s past, preserved with integrity and precision.
