The story of Glenfarclas Distillery, established in 1836, is as rich and colourful as the great Glenfarclas Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky itself. It is the story of one Scottish family, the Grants, who since 1865 have been united by a single vision – the creation of the perfect malt whisky, the ultimate taste of Scotland. “My great-great grandfather, John Grant, born in 1805 at the family farm of Lynbeg in the heart of Speyside, purchased Glenfarclas Distillery for the princely sum of £511.19s.0d on the 8th of June 1865. To this day,Glenfarclas Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled and matured at our family owned and run distillery, which thanks to the foresight of my forefathers remains independent. Our multi-award winning Glenfarclas Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky continues to impress the tasting panels at both national and international competitions, year after year. Confirming the words of a great rival distiller in 1912, ‘of all the whiskies malt is king – of all the kings Glenfarclas reigns supreme’.

The different ages show more of the delicately peated flavours whilst younger and finish with a gloriously sherry sweet and distinguished smoky flavour when older. 10 years old ABV 40% A straw-gold , delicately light, sweet and malty, leaving a long slightly spicy finish.
