Glenfarclas

On the edge of Speyside, Scotland, the Glenfarclas Distillery has carried its licence since 1836 and the Grant family name since 1865. Spring water drawn from Ben Rinnes feeds a spirit built for substance, not shortcuts, and the warehouses shelter famously long‑aged stocks.

Few places still rely on direct‑fired copper pot stills, yet Glenfarclas keeps six of them glowing with heat, chasing weight through copper contact and steady reflux. Maturation leans decisively toward Oloroso Sherry casks, laid down in traditional dunnage warehouses where humidity slows the Angel’s Share and deepens the structure. When the house pushed cask strength into the spotlight with 105 in the late 1960s, it signalled a philosophy: independent, natural, unapologetic. A sip feels like velveted energy—dense, poised, and quietly persistent.
