Released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of chairman and family member John Grant’s career in whisky, the Glenfarclas 50 Year Old is a remarkable limited-edition Highland single malt. Matured entirely in Spanish sherry casks for half a century, this expression reflects the distillery’s long-standing mastery of sherried single malt. Bottled at 50% ABV and presented in a bespoke Glencairn vessel with a sleek display case, only 836 bottles were produced worldwide, making it an exceptional rarity.
