Glenfarclas 10 Year Old Highland Single Malt

In a world where the ownership of most Scottish distilleries is in the hands of multinational drinks corporations Glenfarclas stands out by still being owned by the founding family. From their origins in 1865 the business is now in the hands of the fifth and sixth generations of the Grant family with John Grant heading the business and his son George acting as brand ambassador.

As well as having a good reputation as blending malts they also enjoy something of a following for their single malts, most of which are characterised by being matured in ex-sherry casks. It's good to see that their commitment to producing single malt Scotch whisky in the traditional Speyside way is likely to continue for some time to come.
