Only a few distilleries in Scotland are still privately owned. The Speyside Distillery Glenfarclas is one of them. Maybe it’s the best known among them and maybe it’s one of the most successful family-owned distilleries in Scotland ever. But for sure the Grants, owners of Glenfarclas, are very proud of the private status as their slogan “The Spirit of Independence” shows.

Six generations of Grants have shaped Glenfarclas, from 1865 until today. This guaranteed a constancy of quality and foresight that a durable product such as whisky needs. There is hardly another distillery that has as many high-quality and old whiskies in its warehouses as Glenfarclas.

Glenfarclas literally means “Glen of green grassland” but for many whisky lovers it means “Sherry”. The distillery that is situated in the heart of the Speyside just 5 miles south of Aberlour traditionally matures in Sherry casks. This core theme hasn’t changed even though sherry casks have become more and more expensive. The range of single malts is wide and lasts from 10-year-old whiskies to a 40-year-old release.

Glenfarclas whisky is full-bodied, and presents aromas of dried fruits, sherry, honeycomb, butterscotch, light peat, nuts, marzipan… sometimes less of the one, sometimes more of the other, depending on the release you chose.
