Glenfarclas 1957 Family Cask #2126 / Autumn 2013

Glenfarclas is considered by many to be one of the finest distilleries in Speyside. Its direct-fired stills produce a heavy single malt that is almost exclusively matured in Jerez sherry casks. The distillery focuses on single malt over blends, and a cool microclimate around the distillery that means that their casks are particularly stingy to the "angels," resulting in an incredible depth of stock. Glenfarclas also feel they share some credit for the modern day love of cask strength whisky, introducing their acclaimed 105 proof expressions back in 1968.

The Family Cask range was launched early in 2007 with a cask for each year from 1952 until 1994.

This release was bottled on 1st July 2013 as one of 148 bottles.
