About Glenfarclas
Since 1865 Glenfarclas has been owned and managed by just one family, the Grants of Glenfarclas. On the 8th of June 1865 John Grant acquired the tenancy for the Rechlerich Farm and, as part of the transaction, purchased the Glenfarclas Distillery for £511.19S.0d.
To this day, Glenfarclas is one of only a few distilleries in Scotland to remain family owned and managed. Now in the hands of the fifth and sixth generations of the family, the Grants remain committed to the vision of creating the best quality Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, in the traditional Speyside style.
Glenfarclas 175th Anniversary Bottle
Glenfarclas Distillery itself had been in production since 1836 and last year they celebrated their 175 Anniversary and to mark this occasion the had two special release whiskies. The first was the 175 Anniversary Bottling a marriage of 18 casks 3 each from the last six decades. This was a release of 6000 bottles and we still have a few bottles left
...one very special whisky.
This whisky has so many layers, you will find yourself
dissecting the decades that it contains. Heavy sherry
from the 50’s and 60’s; light fruitiness from the 70’s and 80’s
then the freshness from the 90’s and 00’s.
Buttery to taste, with underlying sherry and dried fruits,
the finish is long and elegant like a lightly dusted chocolate
vanilla biscuit – a truly wonderful whisky
