The oldest record of Glenfarclas as a distillery is a painting from 1791, which shows a still house and malt barns in addition to the farm buildings. You can see an image of the painting here. Legal Since 1836 One of Glenfarclas' distinguishing features is its affinity for sherry casks. The distillery predominantly uses Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Jerez, Spain, to mature its whiskies. This choice imparts a unique sweetness and a medley of dried fruit flavours. Creating a signature profile that whisky enthusiasts recognise and adore.

Lovely little nose that takes some time to open up, I wound up nosing the whisky for roughly an hour or so before taking my first sip. As Ralfy notes in review 606 – Glenfarclas 12 yo, direct firing requires more attention and care by the Stillman, so the stills don’t over heat and burn. Burnt stills result in charred wash/low-wines, the stills must then be shut down and scraped clean. Steam coils cause less mess and less damage to the still, meaning less cleaning and a longer life. However, the method of heating the stills does impact the character of the spirit – direct firing tends to provide a fuller, richer, meatier spirit. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.

A sweet and spicy nose with an initial burst of cinnamon and nutmeg, coconut, sweet cherries, vanilla, toasty oak and an ever so slight hint of cocoa. I have been drinking a great deal of sherry casked whiskies lately. I've yet to try the 30. I have a bottle of the GF21 in my climate controlled safe that I have not opened yet. I tasted it recently at a bar and really enjoyed it. I pour the sample into my glencairn and as before am surprised how much color they're able to get into the whisky in such a short amount of time! John Grant and his son George ran Glenfarclas until John’s death in 1889. Sadly, George died only a year later in 1890, and his oldest sons John and George took over. The George/John pattern of inheritance will continue for the next 120+ years. An Antiquated DistilleryEach and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. This continuity has allowed Glenfarclas to still reflect an older way of making whisky, but this willingness to retain tradition is not down to a romantic belief in the past. Glenfarclas is nothing if not a successful business. Taste: Viscous and silky with good body. Polish, fresh light golden tobacco and a wee touch of salinity. Spice comes to the foreground with pepper and nutmeg. The body is still very fruity and sherried with orange peels, dried red currants, plums and more than a hint of chocolate covered fruit cake.
