Description

Considered among the finest of the Speyside malt distilleries and one of the few of its age to still be family-owned. J&G Grant became its sole shareholders in 1898 and continue to run it in a traditional manner, notably using direct-fired stills to create a rich, weighty spirit. This 40-year-old single malt Scotch whisky is matured in sherry casks and is presented in a red wooden box designed to recreate the iconic Glenfarclas warehouse doors. It is a highly acclaimed expression, known for its complex and rich character.

Nose
Dense dark chocolate, cigar box and raisin as it opens, before hints of old oak furniture start to develop (some leather notes here, too!). After a few minutes, touches of Cognac-like rancio appear.
Palate
Continuing Christmas Cake elements, and a pinch of tobacco remains as well. Chocolate orange brownies, coffee beans and chewy dried fruit adds to the richness. Sparks of cinnamon and black pepper in the background, bringing a comforting warmth to the palate.
Finish
A long finish, boasting thick notes of Sherry and butterscotch. Seville orange marmalade and ginger develop later.
