Glenfarclas Whisky 1953 by Wealth Solutions was aged for 58 years in a wooden cask, previously filled with sherry, and acquiring its unique flavour. The cask was selected by none other than Serge Valentin – the most recognised whisky critic around the world and a member of the international Malt Maniacs group. The carefully selected cask was from 1953, which was the oldest vintage available at Glenfarclas distillery. The content of the cask was poured into 400 numbered bottles as a cask strength that is without any dilution. Unfiltered and of natural colour, this whisky meets the expectations of every discerning client. Each bottle was accompanied by a booklet specially prepared by Ian Buxton, journalist and alcoholic beverage connoisseur, and Charles MacLean – another important figure in the world of whisky – prepared a written assessment of the beverage for the purpose of the booklet.

Tasting notes

This is actually a piece of history more than a bottle of whisky.
