Description

Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside's independent whisky producers. The Grant family has been running Glenfarclas since 1860, producing an individual Speyside malt that many whisky enthusiasts number as one of their favourites. The water source is melt water from the slopes of Ben Rinnes which runs through granite and heather before reaching Gl... This is an old and well-matured Glenfarclas released as part of the 10th edition of Family Casks, their prestigious single cask line. Distilled in 1959, it was matured for over 50 years in a sherry hogshead and bottled in 2012 at cask strength.
