Description

Still in family hands since its founding, 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. This 1989 vintage is part of 'The Family Casks' series, an exclusive collection of single cask whiskies. It was matured in a sherry butt and bottled in 2012.
