One of Speysides greatest distilleries that’s just starting to be discovered in the US. Glenfarclas is independent distillery that’s been owned by the same family since 1860. John Grant paid £511.19s.0d for the distillery which is now run by his Great Great Grand Son John L.S. Grant.  Glenfarclas is a favorite with connoisseurs and collectors and produces big after dinner type malts. The distillery operates 6 stills which are the largest in Speyside and draws its water supply from the Ben Rinnes. Glenfarclas welcomes guests and has had a visitor center since 1973. Glenfarclas was recently named Distiller of the year at the Icons of Whisky Dinner in 2006. If you haven’t yet discovered Glenfarclas buy a bottle as soon as you can (then send us a thank you notel). The seventeen year old expression can’t be topped for its complexity and price.
