Glenfarclas – 17 Year Old (70cl, 43%)

Glenfarclas – 17 Year Old is a whisky from Glenfarclas (Speyside). Aged 17 years, bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside’s independent whisky producers. The Grant family has been running Glenfarclas since 1860, producing an individual Speyside malt that many whisky enthusiasts number as one of their favourites. The water source is melt water from the slopes of Ben Rinnes which runs through granite and heather before reaching Glenfarclas (meaning ‘the valley of green grass’). With a long history stretching back to the early 20th Century, both original and independent bottlings are keenly collected. The 17 year old was bottled in limited quantities primarily for the North American, Japanese and Travel Retail markets.
