This bottling of a Glenfarclas single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as a limited rare bottling. The whisky was distilled in 2005 and bottled at cask strength in 2015.
The Glenfarclas distillery was founded in 1836 by Robert Hay. It is perhaps the best known and also one of the most successful family-run distilleries in Scotland. The Grant family, now in its sixth generation, has determined the history of the Glenfarclas distillery since 1865.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
