Glenfarclas whisky

Glenfarclas is a family-owned Speyside distillery known for sherry-cask single malt. This page lists the Glenfarclas bottles in stock at the UK retailers we check with the lowest current price, from the 10, 12, 15 and 17 Year Old to the 105 Cask Strength and older releases such as the 35 Year Old.

Sherry casks and natural colour are the house style: Glenfarclas has never coloured its whisky, and its wash stills are directly fired, unusual among established distilleries. The 15 Year Old is bottled at 46% ABV and the 17 at 43% ABV. The same bottle can cost different amounts between shops, so compare like with like.

The distillery was founded in 1836 and bought by John Grant and his son George in 1865; Whiskipedia’s Glenfarclas page has the history. Prices are the best current in-stock offer from the UK retailers we check (how we compare prices).
