In 1865, cattle breeder John Grant purchased the Glenfarclas distillery and adjacent farm, for the sum of £511 19 shillings. It was ideally positioned, halfway between his other distillery, Glenlivet, and the Elgin cattle market. Six generations later, little has changed. It remains in the Grant family, who source their water from the crystal-clear spring that bubbles up from the granite soils at the foot of Ben Rinnes. Over the years they have built an impressive reputation for malts of exceptional quality and value and every year win many awards. Glenfarclas is also renowned for its well-aged malts, like this mellow Speyside release, aged 12 years in sherry cask. Deep, complex with rich notes of sherried fruit, it’s one to sip and savour.

"Delicious, intriguing and complex, well-aged Speyside malt to spend time over" Samuel Fishlock
