Glenfarclas & Hine
1 Jan 1953
This incredible pair of 1953 vintage spirits were both aged in cask for almost 60 years. The Glenfarclas was matured in a single Spanish Sherry cask whilst the Hine was matured in French Oak, prior to both being bottled at natural cask strength - the first time Hine have ever done this.
The 1953 Glenfarclas comes from the oldest maturing cask in the Speyside distillery's inventory, filled during George Grant's grandfather's time (his father would have been just 18 months old!).
1953 for Hine means one of the greatest vintages of the past century alongside 1914 and perhaps more recently 1988.
The pair are presented in obelisks made from English Oak by the Queen's cabinetmaker, N.E.J. Stevenson, with the faces of the drawers having been made from the casks each of these spirits were matured in!
There are only 125 of these extraordinary sets in existence.
