Glenfarclas15YearOld(700mL)

<p>A perfect Scotch for fathers of all generations. </p><p><em>The saying goes</em> that fathers build, sons expand, and grandsons destroy. But with this family it’s different: every next progeny made the Spirit-making business stronger while keeping the ancient recipe intact.</p><p>The maker of this Spirit is <em>one of the few remaining </em>independent and family-owned distilleries in Scotland. It was started in 1836 by Robert Hay, and bought by <em>John Grant</em> a few decades later. Nowadays it’s run by the <em>6th generation</em> of the Grant family, making it truly independent, which is kind-of refreshing these days. Glenfarclas distillery owns <em>six stills</em>, which are the largest in all of Highland, and produce a typical <em>Speyside-style</em> Whisky, which is heavily Sherry influenced. They mature their malts in traditional dunnage warehouses, where they have stock back to 1952.</p><p><em>Glenfarclas 15 Year Old </em>was matured <em>exclusively in Sherry</em> casks for 15 years. Bam! That’s a lot of Sherry ageing. The infamous <em>Jim Murray</em> gave this superb dram 95 points in his Whisky Bible. It’s a must for all fan-a-tics of Sherried Whiskies. And of Scotch. And of Whisky. And of Spirits! </p>
