Glenfarclas
Glenfarclas - in Gaelic, "the valley of green pastures" - extends at the foot of Ben Rinnes mountain, in Speyside. It is here that the Glenfarclas distillery was built in 1836, which in 1865 was purchased by the Grant family. Today it is the sixth generation of the family, namely George Grant, to continue the tradition of the distillery. One of the last remaining independent from the big global beverage groups. Glenfarclas, born in the Highland geographical area, continues to write the name of her region of origin precisely because Speyside was subsequently created within the Highland region.
For the production of a Glenfarclas three main ingredients are needed: pure, cold and crystalline water from the natural springs of Mount Ben Rinnes, barley produced entirely in Scotland, in the Moray area, and yeast. After distillation, which is always done in small batches, the whisky it is left to mature in the best ex Spanish Sherry oak barrels: Glenfarclas is in fact the only distillery to mainly use Sherry barrels.
Throughout its history, the Glenfarclas distillery has won countless international awards. In 2006 it celebrated its 170th anniversary with the "Distiller of the Year" award, the most coveted in the sector, awarded by the magazine "Whisky Magazine".
