Glenfarclas 40 Year Old Malt Whisky 46 % Abv.

Glenfarclas 40 Year Old Malt Whisky 46 % Abv.


Glenfarclas Distillery was built in 1836 by a tenant farmer by the name of Robert Hay. When Robert Hay died in 1865, the distillery was taken over by John Grant. For the five first years of ownership John Grant rented the distillery out. Then John Grant ran the distillery with his son George who died only one year after his father. His wife Barbara inherited the distillery licence, and his two sons John and George Grant took over the family business. Grant sold a 50% share of the distillery in 1896 to Pattison Elder & Company to finance the alteration work at the distillery. The distillery was virtually rebuilt in 1897 using the money from Pattison. Despite honest sharing of the Glenfarclas profits, Pattison went bankrupt in 1899, and the distillery once again became the exclusive property of the Grants. The production capacity was doubled in 1960. Two more stills were installed in 1976. The current manager, John, is the fifth generation of Grants to manage Glenfarclas. Glenfarclas is one of the few independent and family distilleries left in Scotland today.

Colour: Rich dark mysterious Gold

Nose: Antique leather, walnuts and chocolate covered raisins.

Flavour: A sweet initial taste, orange segments, chocolate. Then a lovely flavour of burnt brown sugar.

Finish: 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.

Comment: This new Glenfarclas 40 Years Old, bottled in March 2010, has been awarded a score of 95/100 by the Malt Advocate magazine.
