Product description
Glenfarclas 16-Year-Old Sherry Cask Matured is an exceptional Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey that perfectly reflects the multigenerational tradition of one of the few distilleries that has remained continuously in the hands of the same family.Glenfarclas has been owned by the Grant family since 1865, and its production philosophy is based on patience, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality.The 16-Year-Old Edition is aged exclusively in carefully selected Spanish sherry casks, giving it a rich, elegant, and exceptionally harmonious flavor profile.
Extensive aging in sherry casks gives the whiskey a deep amber color and exceptional complexity.Unlike many modern spirits, Glenfarclas still uses traditional copper stills heated by direct flame, which produces a fuller, oilier distillate.Bottled at 46% ABV, “ ” —with no compromise on character or intensity—offers a rich tasting experience for both seasoned connoisseurs and those discovering the world of sherry-cask-matured whiskies..
