    Glenfarclas 175th Anniversary

    Lot #0260049
    FINISH DATE
    31 January 2016

    Glenfarclas Distillery was first licensed in 1836, and this limited edition bottling has been produced to celebrate the 175th Anniversary. 

    In addition to the oldest cask from 1952, Glenfarclas have included three casks from each of the following five decades to produce this exceptional bottling of Glenfarclas.

    Amber heather honey in colour, with toffee and vanilla aromas which become more pronounced the longer the whisky rests in your glass.

    The taste marries the heavy sherry from the 1950s and 1960s with the light fruitiness of the 1970s and 1980s, the freshness of the 1990s and the surprising maturity of the youngest casks from 2000.

    Glenfarclas

    The family-owned distillery that everyone speaks fondly of, Glenfarclas was established in 1836 by Robert Hay, who owned the distillery for 3 decades before the Grant family arrived on the scene. It has never left their hands since. The nearest anyone has gotten to owning the distillery was the infamous Pattison company in 1895, who subsequently went bankrupt 3 years later and almost took the distillery with them. The Grant’s vowed never again and over 120 years later, that’s proved to be the case. Glenfarclas has been associated with sherry casks and an impressive maturing inventory as displayed in their family cask range. It remains one of the top-selling single malts worldwide because of its dedication, consistency and affordability. Their age statement range, compared to other Speyside distilleries, doesn’t cost the earth and is widely available. The Glenfarclas character has many fans, thanks to quality casks, direct-fired stills and the use of rummagers, which add to the quality of the whisky.
