Tasting Notes

Nose: Reminiscent of relaxing in an old leather armchair while eating walnuts and chocolate covered raisins. Palate: A sweet initial taste, orange segments dipped in liquid chocolate. Then a lovely flavour of burnt brown sugar at the back of the mouth. The dry finish oozes big tannins and more rich dark cocoa beans. Let the whisky breathe a little or add a drop or two of water to fully open up the dram.
Glenfarclas 40 Year Old Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. This 40 year old Scotch is a truly amazing whisky, so fresh and vibrant for an old Scotch. 95/100 by the Malt Advocate magazine.

The Distillery

Glenfarclas
Founded in 1836 by Robert Hay, Glenfarclas Distillery is a prestigious pillar of Scotland’s Speyside whisky region. Acquired by John Grant in 1865, the distillery has remained under the Grant family’s ownership ever since, preserving a legacy of tradition and excellence. The Glenfarclas Visitor Centre boasts a stunning interior adorned with original oak panels salvaged from the historic SS Empress of Australia liner, scrapped in 1952. Central to Glenfarclas’ whisky-making philosophy are Ace sherry casks, which form the foundation of their acclaimed single malt Scotch whiskies, including the esteemed Glenfarclas 15 Year Old, the robust Glenfarclas 105, and the elegant Glenfarclas 21 Year Old. In 1968, Glenfarclas released its first cask strength single malt, further cementing its reputation among whisky connoisseurs. The Family Cask range showcases exclusive, limited-edition whiskies that highlight the distillery’s unwavering commitment to quality and heritage. Whether you’re a seasoned whisky enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Glenfarclas Distillery offers an unparalleled Scotch whisky experience that honors its rich history and family legacy.
