Tasting notes – Glenfarclas 70 years old

Color: Deep, polished teak with a beautiful glow – dark but still vibrant in the glass.

Nose: Soft and elegant with fine tannins. A nose of warm, stewed fruits and classic Scottish dumpling. A light, earthy smoke from Speyside peat gives a subtle smoky edge. Underneath it all are deeper layers of fruit compote, honeyed malt and ripe sweetness.

Flavor: Rich hints of dark chocolate and sherry-filled dried fruits. A pleasant spicy warmth spreads in the mouth, followed by strong, deep coffee and silky treacle toffee, creating a luxuriously rich texture.

Finish: Long, lingering and green at the edge – with a hint of Speyside peat that spreads gracefully over the tongue. A finish that stays with you long after the last drop.

The story of Glenfarclas – Speyside’s family jewel

Glenfarclas was officially licensed in 1836, and since 1865 the Grant family has been at the forefront of everything that happens at the distillery. This makes Glenfarclas the oldest family-owned distillery in Speyside.

They still go their own way here. The boilers are fired directly with gas flames – an age-old method that produces a stronger, more robust new make spirit. All whiskies are aged in traditional dunnage warehouses and every decision is still made by the family themselves.

As a result, Glenfarclas is known around the world for honesty, authenticity and a unique expression that cannot be duplicated. The 70-year-old release is not just a whisky – it’s a symbol of almost 200 years of dedication.
