Lot number: 064-2243

Winning bid: £260

Still in family hands since it was founded, the Glenfarclas 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.

Bottled by German spirits company; Simon Brown Famous Spirits. This is a tawny looking single cask Glenfarclas which has spent its life in Bourbon casks, which is unusual for this distillery famed for its sherried drams.
