Distillery description

Glenfarclas is a Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, near the village of Ballindalloch. Founded in 1836, it has been managed by the Grant family since 1865, making it one of the few distilleries still under family control for six generations. The name "Glenfarclas" translates to "valley of green grass," reflecting the lush surroundings. This long-standing family ownership allows Glenfarclas to maintain traditional production methods and a careful approach to distillation, which is evident in the character of their whisky. The Grants are known for their prudent business strategy; as George Grant, the sixth-generation family member, states, "We've been through 22 recessions. We only make what we can afford, and we never borrow to make it." This philosophy has enabled the distillery to increase its stock even when others cut production, ensuring a sufficient supply of older whiskies. Glenfarclas also protects its brand identity by avoiding collaborations with independent bottlers. In 2007, they launched The Family Casks series, showcasing vintage editions of whisky dating back to 1954, making it one of the most extensive projects among Scottish distilleries.
