Glenfarclas 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Product Description

Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside’s independent whisky producers. The Grant family have 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 Glenfarclas (meaning ‘the valley of green grass’). With a long history of bottlings stretching back to the early 20th Century, both proprietary and independent, Glenfarclas is keenly collected. Creating a great malt whisky is a time-honoured process. Here in the heart of Speyside, Glenfarclas has cherished the skills and traditions of fine malt whisky making for over 165 years, handing them down through six generations.

Amber bronze gold in colour. The bouquet brings a light yet with a creamy texture, soft sherry, rich dried fruits mingle with honey that balances out with woody notes of oak and a hint of pine and a very soft hint of smoke. Gentle and well-balanced. The Oloroso sherry cask gives the typical notes of raisins, date and fruit cake, earthy hints from the dunnage warehouse creep in. A beautiful note of malt, with toffee apple and a hint of smoke. Lovely and long, notes of allspice, cinnamon and cloves, with orange zest and sherry creates the perfect spicy finish.
