Glenfarclas Distillery was established by Robert Hay in Speyside in 1836. John Grant purchased Glenfarclas in 1865 and it has remained in the ownership of the Grant family ever since. The interior of the visitor centre is stunning, the walls are lined with the original oak panels salvaged from a lounge on the liner SS Empress of Australia when she was scrapped 1952. Ace sherry casks underpin the ethos of Glenfarclas malt whisky, having released its first cask strength single malt way back in 1968 and in 1973 became the third to open a distillery visitor centre. Glenfarclas Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.
Opens warming and richly spiced on the nose, running to toffee and a caramelised, spiced orange character before a soft leather quality appears. The palate is rich and mouthcoating and the orange style returns – now in a sweet & spicy liqueur style – before running drier. Walnuts and chewed leather run on the long and dry finish – think of extra rich dark chocolate.
