Distillery Background
Nestled in the valley of the green grass, Glenfarclas is one of the last truly independent Scotch distilleries. Family-owned since 1865, they’ve built a legacy on age-statement whiskies, sherry cask maturation, and refusing to cut corners. The 17 Year Old is a perfect reflection of that legacy, quiet, confident, and crafted for those who know.
