This superb single malt from the Highland region matures for twelve years in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, giving it a deep and highly expressive, classic malt flavor. It is a prime example of traditional Scottish whisky-making, delighting with its natural amber color and complexity.
Aroma: fresh and light, full of sweet oak, sherry, and crisp autumn apple notes.
Palate: full-bodied and rich, dominated by dried fruits, cinnamon, and a light oak spice with a lingering, warming finish.
Serving recommendations and pairing: best enjoyed neat or with a drop of spring water, it pairs perfectly with smoked salmon, cured hams, or dark chocolate desserts.
Six generations of the Grant family have shaped the Glenfarclas distillery from 1865 to the present day. It is one of only a handful of privately owned, family-run distilleries remaining in Scotland. And perhaps one of the most successful of all time. "THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE" – the distillery's motto – only reinforces the Grant family's pride in their private business status. Translated, "Glenfarclas" means "valley of the green grass." Few distilleries can boast shelves stocked with as many high-quality, aged whiskies as this one – the distillery of the green grass valley.
