Glenfarclas Single Cask 2015 #2654 1st-Fill Sherry Hogshead 60.2%

Glenfarclas Single Cask 2015 #2654 is an exclusive Special Release from the historic Glenfarclas Distillery. Here, you get Glenfarclas in an intense and uncompromising expression, where the whisky comes from a single first-fill sherry hogshead and is bottled at a full 60.2%.

The whisky was distilled in 2015 and placed in cask number 2654. It is a first-fill sherry hogshead, where the first filling of Scotch whisky achieves maximum contact with the flavors remaining in the sherry cask. This creates optimal conditions for a powerful whiskey with deep sherry notes, dark fruit, and spicy nuances.

On June 29, 2026, the cask was bottled, yielding just 295 bottles. Each bottle is therefore part of a very limited Glenfarclas release, where the character of a single cask takes center stage.

Single Cask Glenfarclas at 60.2%

With an alcohol content of 60.2%, Glenfarclas Single Cask #2654 delivers an intense tasting experience. The high alcohol content highlights the whisky’s concentration and the distinctive character of the sherry cask.

Enjoy it neat for the most powerful experience. A few drops of water can also open up the whiskey and bring out additional layers of fruit, spices, and sweetness from the cask.

The History of Glenfarclas
