Glenfarclas 30 Year Old

Product Description

Superb single malt from the Glenfarclas distillery, aged for 30 years. Three decades of maturation have resulted in a fantastically full-bodied, satisfyingly Sherried and all-around awesome flavour profile. Now presented with a box designed as an homage to the unmistakable red door of the Glenfarclas warehouse.

Highlights 

• The spring water which ensured the plentiful green grass proved to be one of the essential components contributing to the distinct flavour of Glenfarclas highland Single Malt Whisky.
• Crystal clear, it bubbles up from the underlying granite on the slopes of the Speyside mountain, Ben Rinnes, to supply the distillery below.
• There it combines with the finest malted barley to provide a mash which is then twice distilled in traditional, direct fired, copper pot stills – the largest in Speyside.
• In 1865, Glenfarclas distillery, nestled in the heart of Speyside, was purchased by a cattle breeder by the name of John Grant. Today, the Glenfarclas spirit still lives strong and continues in family ownership under the direction of the 5th generation, John Grant.
• Glenfarclas means ‘Valley of the Green Grassland’ and the spring water, which ensures the verdant green grass, is essential to the distinct flavour of Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Whisky. It bubbles up, crystal clear, from the underlying granite on the slopes of the Speyside mountain, Ben Rinnes, to supply the distillery below.
• There, it is combined with the finest malted barley, twice distilled in traditional, direct fired, copper pot stills and only the lightest and best fractions of alcohol are collected, two thirds to be filled into the finest Spanish Sherry oak casks and one third into plain oak casks in which to lie maturing over many years.
• Times may have changed, but it’s what has stayed the same that makes Glenfarclas unique: the five generations of Grant family pride and the revered quality of their famous Single Malt Whisky.
• 30 year old scotch whisky.
• Single malt whisky.
• Speyside region. 
• 70cl bottle size. 
• 43% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Full complex aromas with fruit and sherried malty tones.

Palate: With sherry, cognac, brandy, fruit, nuts, marzipan, this is a wonderfully indulgent christmas cake, in a glass!

Finish: A whisky you never want to end and it very nearly doesn't. The finish is exquisite with a real taste of burnt chocolate at the back of the mouth.
