The Glenfarclas 1956 58 Year Old is an extraordinary single cask release, distilled in 1956 and matured for nearly six decades in a single sherry cask before being bottled in 2018 at 47.8% ABV. Created exclusively for the Taiwanese market, this remarkable whisky captures a rare moment in the distillery’s history, when Glenfarclas operated with just two stills and performed its own floor malting on-site. The long maturation in sherry wood has imparted exceptional depth and richness, making this one of the most collectible Glenfarclas bottlings ever released.
