Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

HIGHLAND, SPEYSIDE

In May 1836 Glenfarclas Distillery was officially licenced for the first time, adding the designation “Distillery” to Rechlerich Farm. Therefore, May 2021 marks 185 years of legal distilling and Glenfarclas is celebrating the anniversary with a limited-edition bottling.

Glenfarclas means ‘Valley of the Green Grassland’ and the spring water, which ensures the verdant green grass, is essential to the distinct flavour of Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Whisky. It bubbles up, crystal clear, from the underlying granite on the slopes of the Speyside mountain, Ben Rinnes, to supply the distillery below.

There, it is combined with the finest malted barley, twice distilled in traditional, direct fired, copper pot stills and only the lightest and best fractions of alcohol are collected, two thirds to be filled into the finest Spanish Sherry oak casks and one third into plain oak casks in which to lie maturing over many years.

This bottling features casks from six different decades and is very much in the house style which is sherry-heavy. Expect classic sherry richness, plenty of Christmas spices, fruit cake, stewed plums and a hint of chocolate.

ABV: 43%

Volume: 700ml
