50 Year Old Whisky

Incredibly, this is the seventh release of the 1961 vintage in Glenfarclas' incredibly successful Family Cask series. This super-intense sherried dram was a big hit at the 2011 TWE Whisky Show.

The perfect gift for any fan of sherried whisky born or married in this year, this Glenfarclas 1959 is from a single sherry cask bottled as part of the distillery's Family Cask range.

A interesting bottling by Gordon & Macphail. Glen Gordon: a 50 year old whisky, distilled in 1939 and bottled in 1989, from an unnamed distillery and described as being 'Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky'. We think that it's an old Macallan.

An old Glen Grant, distilled in 1936 and bottled in the mid 1980s after 50 years of maturation. Glen Grant ages well so this rare whisky should be a cracker when opened.

A stunning new distillery bottling of Glenfarclas 50yo for The Whisky Exchange. Aged over 50 years in a single refill sherry cask, and bottled at a remarkable 50% abv, just 87 bottles were yielded from the cask. This incredibly rare Glenfarclas has been packaged in a gorgeous crystal decanter.

A single Oloroso sherry cask of Auchentoshan 1957, bottled at a full fifty years old. Just 171 bottles of this were yielded from the cask after five decades of ageing.

A real treasure. The malt in this bottle was distilled in 1919 and bottled in 1969, which shows how far ahead of their time the Mitchell family company were.

Bottled in 2005 exactly fifty years to the day after it was distilled, this stunning Glenfarclas was hand-picked by George S. Grant to celebrate the Bicentenary of the birth of his Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather John Grant, a farmer and breeder of champion Aberdeen Angus cattle, who bought the Glenfarclas distillery in 1865. We believe that this could be the best malt ever released by one of our favourite distilleries.

A very limited edition Dalmore, Candela has been created by master blender Richard Paterson from very old vintage stocks, with the youngest from 1951 and the oldest going all the way back to 1868. Just 77 bottles of this have been released.
