About
One famous surname, six generations. A family business in its truest sense. 150 years on, here is just something of this remarkable story.
The distinctive, some say unforgettable, taste of Glenfarclas Highland single malt scotch whisky, is the result of the family’s experience for over 150 years. The insistence on using traditional distillation methods gives this spirits that time honored quality.
Glenfarclas 10 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is 100% matured in Oloroso sherry casks. It is gloriously smooth, yet with the depth and finish you would normally expect with the much older dram. It is a wonderfully sherried whisky and an excellent aperitif.

PALATE: Delicately light, with a mouth-watering combination of maltiness, smokiness and sherry sweetness. Hints of dried fruit, vanilla, cinnamon and cloves tempt the taste buds further.
FINISH: Long, smooth and spicy, with a delicious, yet delicate, lingering smokiness.
