We have a very friendly relationship with the Glenfarclas Distillery and, in particular, with George Grant.
\nGlenfarclas, which means \u201cValley of the Green Grasslands,\u201d was founded in 1836 by Robert Hay and purchased in 1865 by John Grant. To this day, it remains in the hands of the Grant family, who, with great foresight and consistency, continually offer outstanding single casks and special editions in addition to their standard bottlings. So it\u2019s no coincidence that we\u2019ve already had the privilege of personally selecting several Glenfarclas casks and bottling them under our own name. Since 2006, the tastings in Itzehoe featuring family member George Grant have been among our highlights. The Oloroso sherry casks, which are primarily used, give Glenfarclas its very special aromas, prized by whiskey connoisseurs around the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The story of this whiskey begins in 2014 at the independent Glenfarclas Distillery, where it was distilled in directly fired copper stills. The distillate spent its entire maturation period in the cool, damp Dunnage Warehouses of the Grant family, deeply rooted in Speyside. At the heart of this bottling is the first-fill sherry butt numbered 5191, which imparted its complex character to the spirit over the course of twelve years before it was finished in August 2026. <\/p>\n
In the glass, this single malt displays a magnificent, natural mahogany color. The bouquet is characterized by an intense sherry depth, underpinned by ripe dried fruits and a malty underlying sweetness. On the palate, the full strength of 64.4% ABV unfolds, with notes of dark berries and toasted oak meeting a delicate caramel texture. The finish is remarkably long, leaving behind a characteristic Demerara sweetness as well as elegant, spicy wood notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":183988,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2406,2204,2276,2512,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-183976","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-glenfarclas-en","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-speyside-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-17-08-2026","pa_cask_type-first-fill-sherry-butt-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_destillation_date-2014-en-2","pa_region-speyside-en","pa_whisky_bottler-destillen-original-abfuellung-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-50th-anniversary-cherry-whiskey","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
