Colour:Â amber with dark gold highlights.
Nose: complex, yet refined, with tempting aromas of marmalade, honey, freshly ground coffee, sherry and nuts. some oaky tannins.
Flavour: full – bodied and robust, the sherry and the oak fight for your attention yet neither overpowering.

The Glenfarclas distillery is located in the Speyside region, within the Scottish highlands. Founded in the 1830s, it was purchased by John Grant in 1865. The sixth and fifth generations of the Grant family still run the distillery today and it is often regarded as one of the top two examples of independently-owned distilleries which have survived from the Victorian era (Springbank being the other). Glenfarclas produce a heavy spirit that traditionally works best maturating in ex-sherry oak casks. Their traditional dunnage warehouses keep a constant temperature so their whiskies are uniquely geared towards long, slow maturations.
