Firstly, Taken from the private collection of the family which runs the Glenfarclas distillery, this Glenfarclas 1958 Family Casks is at least 15 years old. It would make a wonderful present for anyone born in 1958 – the same year that NASA, America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was founded.

WF, kings of lousy headlines. I say we should have played it modern instead, like ‘Seven Glenfarclas, #5 Almost Killed The Taster’. Or ‘The Seven Glenfarclas Girls Like Best’. Or better yet: ‘The Seven Glenfarclas That They Should Never Have Bottled’. Next time, perhaps. Glenfarclas 1958 Family Casks SP15 #2061

Moreover, Glenfarclas 1958 Family’, back in 2011, had been excellent IMHO (WF 88) but I’m afraid I haven’t heard much since back then, the last ten years seem to have been pretty quiet at Glenfarclas. Colour: gold. Nose: there is some sherry, but not a lot, it’s a rather natural, pastry-like, fat-as-always Speysider, with quite some vanilla and cakes, then various herbal teas and a few raisins. I have to say balance is perfect, you just couldn’t find fault with this one on the nose. I suspect some pretty older casks have been involved, as there isn’t any single roughness.

Mouth: yes, excellent, pretty fruity, as if it was at least 25 year old. We’re talking guavas and mangos, pink bananas, then orange blossom water, custard, overripe apples and a wide range of softer spices, cinnamon and caraway first, then a few mentholy ones, pine liqueur, sultanas… All that works in sync. Finish: not the longest ever but this fruity freshness remains perfect. Mango cake. Comments: this one’s probably been assembled with much care; I find it rather fruitier than your ‘average’ Glenfarclas. High class indeed, happy anniversary Glenfarclas (sorry if I’m late).
