The Glenfarclas distillery was founded in the 1930s in the verdant Scottish valley of Speyside, whose property was purchased in 1865 by John Grant and passed down to his descendants, making it, to this day, an independent reality much loved by Whisky fans.
Of Glenfarclas, the master Murray's in his famous Whisky Bible writes: "Glenfarclas is one of the best malts distilled in the highlands, you can't die before having tasted at least once a Glenfarclas whisky!"
Glenfarclas comes from the Gaelic and translated means "valley of green grass".
The 15 year old Glenfarclas is a single malt that spends its long maturation period in casks previously used for the production of Oloroso Sherry, making it wonderfully smooth, but with the depth of flavour that we would normally expect from an older whisky.
After 15 years of aging it is bottled at full strength 46%.
Glenfarclas 15 Year Old is a powerful and complex single malt, the most structured of the entire Glenfarclas whisky range.
