Product Description
Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside’s independent whisky producers. The Grant family have been running Glenfarclas since 1860, producing an individual Speyside malt that many whisky enthusiasts number as one of their favourites. The water source is melt water from the slopes of Ben Rinnes which runs through granite and heather before reaching Glenfarclas (meaning ‘the valley of green grass’). With a long history of bottlings stretching back to the early 20th Century, both proprietary and independent, Glenfarclas is keenly collected. Creating a great malt whisky is a time-honoured process. Here in the heart of Speyside, Glenfarclas has cherished the skills and traditions of fine malt whisky making for over 165 years, handing them down through six generations.
Rich dark maple in colour. Young fresh bouquet, nothing like being 50 years old. Almost like maple syrup, a syrup sweetness. Fantastic bitter chocolate, very smooth no aggression at all. A 50 year old whisky that does not disappoint, everything very fresh and vibrant. Shortish finish but leaves you with a fantastic warming feeling from the tip of your tongue to the bottom of your throat.
