Glenfarclas 1963 – 49yo Family Casks #3540 (Release A13)
A rare and quietly majestic Speyside malt, this 49-year-old release from Glenfarclas Distillery forms part of the esteemed Family Casks series - a collection that captures the essence of time, tradition, and single cask individuality. Distilled in 1963 and bottled on 28 June 2013 as part of Release A13, it reflects nearly half a century of careful maturation under the watchful eye of the Grant family.
Drawn from a single sherry hogshead (#3540) and bottled at a natural 42.2% ABV, this whisky expresses Glenfarclas’ hallmark style in its most refined and mature form. Extended ageing has gently shaped the spirit, allowing it to develop depth and complexity while retaining balance and elegance. The influence of sherry wood is present yet composed, offering a profile that speaks of time, restraint, and quiet richness rather than intensity alone.
With only 198 bottles released, this expression is both a collector’s piece and a rare opportunity to experience a fully matured Glenfarclas from one of its most revered vintages. As part of the Family Casks series, it stands as a faithful representation of the distillery’s philosophy - to preserve and present whisky in its purest, most authentic form.
