Here's the new edition of the Glenfarclas 25-year-old, aged in ex-sherry casks.
The Glenfarclas distillery was founded in the 1930s in the verdant Scottish valley of Speyside. The property was purchased in 1865 by John Grant and passed down to his descendants, making it, to this day, an independent business much loved by whisky fans.
Regarding Glenfarclas, Master Murray's famous Whisky Bible writes: "Glenfarclas is one of the finest malts distilled in the Highlands. You can't die without tasting a Glenfarclas whisky!"
Glenfarclas comes from the Gaelic and translates to "valley of green grass."
The Glenfarclas 25-year-old is a single malt that spends its long maturation period in casks previously used for the production of Oloroso Sherry, making it wonderfully smooth, yet with the depth of flavor we would normally expect from an older whisky.
After 25 years of aging, it is bottled at a full 43% ABV.
Glenfarclas 25-Year-Old is a complex single malt, the most intriguing of the entire Glenfarclas whisky line.
