Glenfarclas The Family Casks 1958 Sherry Hogshead Cask 2061 Spring 2015 Release

Glenfarclas The Family Casks 1958 is a single cask Highland single malt from the Spring 2015 release of the Grant family's celebrated vintage series. Distilled in 1958 at Glenfarclas in Speyside, it matured in a sherry hogshead, cask 2061, before being bottled on 28 November 2014 at 41.7% ABV; just 130 bottles of 700ml were filled. It was drawn from the private reserve of the family that runs the distillery. The Family Casks exist thanks to George S. Grant, who chose to lay down mature stock for the distillery's own bottlings instead of relying on blenders, so Glenfarclas now holds casks from eight decades. Owned by the Grant family since 1865 and still independent, the distillery sits at the foot of Ben Rinnes and distils twice in direct-fired stills. Each bottle is presented in the series' wooden case.

Serve: Neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass; let it rest a few minutes before nosing and add a few drops of water only if wanted.
