Authentic Collection
Owned and run by the Grant family, there is evidence that the distillery has been operating from as far back as 1791. This 20 year old whisky was a favourite with our tasting panel. This dram begins with a distinct freshness on the nose; notes of green apples, freshly cut grass and poached pears. A hint of subtle spice reveals itself on the palate alongside golden syrup and gooseberries. This follows on to the finish with notes of heather honey, lemon zest and oat biscuits.

Distilled at
Heating its stills with direct fire to give the spirit weight is especially useful given Glenfarclas' commitment to maturation in ex-Sherry casks.
This produces a whisky which is rich, resonant and capable of extremely long ageing.
Glenfarclas (meaning "valley of the green grass") can be found in Ballindalloch, Moray,
Did you know that Glenfarclas "pioneered" cask strength bottling, at least that what's they claim, in 1968? And they were one of the first distilleries to open their doors to the public - way back in 1975 - long before such activities were common.
