Glenfarclas 25 Year Old

Glenfarclas

Glenfarclas Distillery was established in 1836. It has been run by six generations of the Grant family. Glenfarclas is situated at the base of the Ben Rinnes mountain range. It has magnificent views of the Strathspey. Glenfarclas is an isolated distillery, which means it has to be very self-sufficient. Glenfarclas has it’s own bio plant. This allows for the waste from the spirit stills (spent lees) to be turned back into water that can then be put back into the river. They also have an evaporation plant that allows them to take the waste product from the wash stills (pot ale), evaporate it, turn it into a syrup so that it can be added to the draffy (end product of the mashing process) and be given to the farmers as animal feed. Glenfarclas has three wash stills and three spirit stills. They produce 3,000,000 litres a year. House Style: Big, complex, malty, sherryish. After dinner.

Colour: Amber with dark gold highlights. Nose: Complex, yet refined, delicately peated, with fresh tempting aromas of marmalade, honey, freshly ground coffee, sherry and nuts. Some oaky tannins. Flavour: Full-bodied and robust, the sherry and the oak fight for your attention yet neither is overpowering. A powerful nutty smokiness. Finish: Intense, long lasting, dry smoky and malty. A beautiful dark Belgium chocolate taste at the back of your mouth to complete the flavour of the 25 Years Old.
