The story behind Glenfarclas

Glenfarclas is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that is still family owned. The distillery was taken over by the Grant family in 1865 and is now run by the sixth generation. Located at the foot of Ben Rinnes in Speyside, it is known for its uncompromising approach to traditional whisky craftsmanship.

Production takes place in some of Scotland’s largest copper boilers. They are still heated by direct fire, which is a rare method in modern whisky production. This technique contributes to a rich and characterful spirit. The whisky is matured in traditional dunnage warehouses, where European oak sherry casks in particular give Glenfarclas its distinctive style.
