Distillery Bottling

Glenfarclas is today one of the only remaining family-owned distilleries in Scotland. Located on the River Spey in the home of malt whisky, the Highlands, the distillery was founded in 1836 by Lieutenant Robert Hay. The land was adjacent to cattle farmer John Grant's Grants fields, so when Robert Hay wanted to sell his land in 1865 to return to England, it was natural for John Grant to step in and buy the land and distillery. This proved to be a great investment and today, almost 150 years later, Glenfarclas is world-renowned for producing some of the most welcoming and aromatic whiskies in Scotland.

The water used in the distillation process is drawn from a small spring that springs from the Benrinnes mountains - and it's the combination of the very pure, soft water and the unique shape of the pot-stills used that contributes to Glenfarclas's unique style. The combination of the very pure, soft water and the unique shape of the pot stills used contribute to the Glenfarclas unique style. Once distilled, the whisky is aged in used casks, either sourced from the USA, where they were previously used to age bourbon, or from Spain, where they were used to age Fino Sherry. The whisky is then aged for a minimum of 8 years before being released for sale. Jim Murray writes in Lademann's Whiskybog about Glenfarclas: "I hope their name reaches far and wide - their malt should be experienced by anyone seeking liquid beauty." "My great-great grandfather, John Grant, born in 1805, purchased Glenfarclas Distillery for £511.19s.0d on the 8th of June 1865.

To this day, Glenfarclas Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled and matured at our family owned and run distillery, which thanks to the foresight of my forefathers remains independent. Creating a great malt whisky is a time-honored process. Here in the heart of Speyside, my family has cherished the skills and traditions of fine malt whisky making, handing them down through six generations. We are proud to share our secrets with you". John L. S. Grant Since 1865 Glenfarclas has been owned and managed by just one family, the Grants of Glenfarclas. On the 8th of June 1865 John Grant acquired the tenancy for the Rechlerich Farm and as part of the transaction purchased the Glenfarclas Distillery for £511.19S.0d.
