Glenfarclas — a Speyside single malt from one of Scotland's last family-owned independent distilleries, matured exclusively in sherry casks for 17 years to produce the rich butterscotch, orange, and sherried fruit character that Glenfarclas has maintained as its house style since 1865.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenfarclas (Gaelic for 'valley of the green grass') has been owned by the Grant family since 1865 — six generations of the same family have maintained a consistent commitment to full-sherry-cask maturation without the trend-chasing cask finishing that characterizes much of the contemporary Scotch industry. The Speyside distillery sits on the slopes of Ben Rinnes in the Livet Valley, drawing water from mountain springs for a production that has changed little in over 150 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterscotch, sherried fruit, peat smoke, orange marmalade, honey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big and full-flavored sherry sweetness, malt, spice, toasted oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, smoky, malty, excellent balance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenfarclas, Ballindalloch, Speyside, Scotland (est. 1836, Grant family since 1865)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Sherry Cask Matured\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes Glenfarclas unusual among Speyside distilleries?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix generations of the same Grant family have owned Glenfarclas since 1865 with no corporate ownership.
