Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
In May 1836 Glenfarclas Distillery was officially licenced for the first time, adding the designation “Distillery” to Rechlerich Farm. Therefore, May 2021 marks 185 years of legal distilling and Glenfarclas is celebrating the anniversary with a limited-edition bottling.
Glenfarclas means ‘Valley of the Green Grassland’ and the spring water, which ensures the verdant green grass, is essential to the distinct flavour of Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Whisky. It bubbles up, crystal clear, from the underlying granite on the slopes of the Speyside mountain, Ben Rinnes, to supply the distillery below.
There, it is combined with the finest malted barley, twice distilled in traditional, direct fired, copper pot stills and only the lightest and best fractions of alcohol are collected, two thirds to be filled into the finest Spanish Sherry oak casks and one third into plain oak casks in which to lie maturing over many years.
Times may have changed, but it’s what has stayed the same that makes Glenfarclas unique: the six generations of Grant family pride and the revered quality of their famous Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with warm copper undertones and a touch of mahogany, a sunlit, honeyed glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry notes rise from the glass, carrying dark dried fruits—raisin, fig and plum—with caramelized orange zest. Vanilla, toffee and toasted spice blend with polished oak, a delicate whisper of leather and cocoa, and a lingering, festive fruit sweetness that signals Glenfarclas’s refined, celebratory character.
Palate
Velvety and concentrated, the palate unfolds with rich dried fruit—prune, raisin and fig—intertwined with orange zest, toffee and warm baking spice. Spanish sherry cask influence adds depth and sweetness, while the remaining oak provides lift and structure. A creamy mouthfeel gives way to a long finish of almond, cocoa and gentle spice, lingering luxuriously.
Finish
Long and luxurious, the finish drapes the palate in velvety sherry sweetness—fig, date and orange peel—framed by spiced oak that slowly fades to a warm, lingering glow.
