Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary Edition
In May 1836 Glenfarclas Distillery was officially licenced for the first time, adding the designation “Distillery” to Rechlerich Farm. Therefore, May 2021 marks 185 years of legal distilling and Glenfarclas is celebrating the anniversary with a limited-edition bottling. Due to their grandfather’s foresight, Glenfarclas are very fortunate to have casks in their dunnage warehouses from 7 different decades, from the 1950s to the 2020s. Some of the ware-houses even predate the 185th anniversary thhey are celebrating, as ‘uisge beatha’ was being made at Glenfarclas a good few years before a licence was held. To mark 185 legal years they have selected some of their finest casks from across the decades and put together a whisky with old, rich, sherried flavours that remain fresh and vibrant in your glass. Glenfarclas means ‘Valley of the Green Grassland’ and the spring water, which ensures the verdant green grass, is essential to the distinct flavour of Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Whisky. It bubbles up, crystal clear, from the underlying granite on the slopes of the Speyside mountain, Ben Rinnes, to supply the distillery below. There, it is combined with the finest malted barley, twice distilled in traditional, direct fired, copper pot stills and only the lightest and best fractions of alcohol are collected, two thirds to be filled into the finest Spanish Sherry oak casks and one third into plain oak casks in which to lie maturing over many years.

Glenmorangie 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Honey and caramel sweetness with some peppery oak and deep citrus notes. The rich finish has a hint of raisins and walnuts. This rare expression of Glenmorangie is an attractive deep gold colour. It is distinctive from the Ten Years Old - although the floral bouquet and citrus notes are still present - and avoids the heavy 'darkness' of other aged malts. It spends a final period of maturation in Sherry wood, which lends a round richness.
