The Glenfarclas 15 Year Old single malt whisky, a masterpiece from the esteemed Glenfarclas Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, represents over 180 years of whisky-making excellence. This family-run distillery, established in 1836, is famed for its adherence to traditional distilling methods and the exclusive use of Oloroso sherry casks. These practices, including the rare technique of direct fire heating for stills, contribute to the distinctive richness and complexity of their whiskies. The Glenfarclas 15 Year Old encapsulates this heritage, offering a sophisticated and high-quality single malt that is a true reflection of the Speyside region’s natural beauty and distilling artistry. Bottled at 46%abv, unchillfiltered with no added colour, this is the perfect dram for fans of aged Scotch whisky with a sweet sherry influence.
