Glenfarclas – 20 Year Old Port Pipe (70cl, 50.5%)

Glenfarclas – 20 Year Old Port Pipe is a whisky from Glenfarclas (Speyside). Aged 20 years, bottled at 50.5% ABV, 70cl. Still in family hands since it was founded, theGlenfarclas Distillery is one of Speyside’s independent whisky producers. The Grant family have 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 of bottlings stretching back to the early 20th Century, both proprietary and independent. In a departure from the usual sherry casks that Glenfarclas uses, this twenty year old has spent some time in a former Douro Valley’s fortified wine barrel.
