Glenfarclas 175th Anniversary Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Six decades in one glass!

J. & G. Grant are pleased to announce the release of a limited edition bottling to celebrate the family owned distillery’s 175th Anniversary. Whilst the exact date of the first distillation at Glenfarclas is lost in the mists of time, the granting of the first license in 1836 is a significant milestone in its long history, and is considered the formal date of establishment.

The Glenfarclas 175th Anniversary bottling is a limited edition which has been created by selecting eighteen casks, with three from each of the last six decades. This includes what was at the time of bottling, the oldest cask in the distillery’s warehouses; number 1711 from 1952. Amber heather honey in colour, the taste marries the heavy sherry from the 1950s and 1960s with the light fruitiness of the 1970s and 1980s, the freshness of the 1990s and the surprising maturity of the youngest casks from 2000. The artwork for the accompanying gift tube has been created from historic Glenfarclas labels, some over 100 years old. A limited number of bottles are destined for markets across Europe and Asia.

Other reviews... The nose has a lift of struck match immediately followed by cedar, pomegranate, blackberry jam, and Seville orange. There’s a thick caramel toffee sweetness to the palate alongside the classic ’Farclas depth where dried, but sweet, fruits repose. Recommended. – Dave Broom
