Glenfarclas is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries still in family ownership. The distillery obtains the water used in the distillation from a small spring that springs from the Benrinnes mountains. Precisely the combination of the very clean soft water and the completely unique shape of the potstills contribute to Glenfarcla's unique style.

Lademann's Whiskey Book:

Jim Murray writes in Lademann's Whiskey Book about Glenfarclas: "I hope their name reaches far and wide - their malt should be experienced by anyone looking for liquid beauty." Glenfarclas 25 Years is, in our opinion, the best sherry-aged whiskey for the price. It is fully on par with some of the world's best whiskies, which are both older and cost up to ten times more.

Six generations of Grants have dedicated themselves to passing on the craft and expertise of the distillery, making Glenfarclas one of the world's most recognized and respected whiskey brands.

Glenfarclas has been able to preserve older production methods thanks to its stable family ownership. The distillery has stuck to using former sherry casks to mature their whiskies. Which adds a depth of flavor and a seductive sweetness to every drop. With more than 80,000 casks for aging, Glenfarclas has an impressive amount of whiskeys in development that mature and develop their character over time.

This independence and autonomy gives the distillery the freedom to create whiskey at their own pace and style. Which has contributed to their continued success and authentic expression.

As a testament to their quality and values, Glenfarclas has maintained a strong identity and has chosen to avoid being associated with independent bottlers. This helps to maintain the distillery's credibility and ensures that Glenfarclas' whiskeys are a true reflection of the distillery's own standards and expertise.
