About Glenfarclas

The Glenfarclas Distillery is one of the most well-regarded and traditional whisky producers in Scotland, with a rich history that spans over 180 years. Located in the heart of the Speyside region, it is renowned for its rich, sherried style of whisky, which has earned it a loyal following among whisky connoisseurs worldwide.
Glenfarclas was founded by Robert Hay in 1836 and has been in the hands of the Grant family since 1865, making it one of the few distilleries in Scotland to remain in the same family ownership for such a long period. The Grant family has played a key role in maintaining the distillery's traditional practices and ensuring its success over generations.
The name Glenfarclas is derived from Gaelic, meaning “Valley of the Green Grass”, reflecting the lush landscape of the Speyside region, where the distillery is situated.
Glenfarclas is known for producing single-malt Scotch whisky, and it has built its reputation largely on its distinctive sherry cask maturation.
Glenfarclas produces a variety of expressions, ranging from younger offerings (like the 12 Year Old and 15 Year Old) to incredibly rare and mature bottles (such as the 21 Year Old, 25 Year Old, 30 Year Old, and older releases like the 40 Year Old and 50 Year Old). Each of these expressions showcases the distillery’s commitment to quality and the influence of sherry cask maturation.
