Glenfarclas

Single Malt Whisky 50YO 700ml

This new highland single malt scotch whisky marks the 50th anniversary of chairman and family member, John Grant, starting in the industry. With only 836 bottles produced, this is truly a rare single malt whisky. Each bottle is an engraved Glencairn bottle which is nestled within a beautiful presentation box. A stunning copper in colour, reminiscent of the magnificent stills at the distillery, Glenfarclas 50YO has been bottled at 50% ABV and tells the story of the distillery through its aroma and flavours. Selected for bottling by Distillery Manager, Callum Fraser, and Managing Director, Douglas Belford, the whisky demonstrates the skill of the distillery team 50 years ago, lead at the time by then Distillery Manager, Douglas MacDonald. Laid down during the tenure of John’s father, George Grant, the malt offers marzipan, almond and cedar wood on the nose, with a sweet and smoky hint giving way to stewed apples and dark chocolate. On the palate, the rich velvety dark chocolate notes lead to flavours of treacle toffee, mixed peel and a slightly smoky, sweet taste, surprisingly mellow for a single malt of this age. The flavours coat the mouth and provide a gentle, smooth finish which lingers for a long time. By adding water, the whisky evolves further, creating more of a lightly peated aroma on the nose and a sweeter, woodier taste on the palate.
