Glenfarclas 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Oloroso Sherry Cask Matured, 43% ABV
Glenfarclas 30 Year Old is a quintessential sherried Speyside whisky—rich, deeply layered, and classically styled. It delivers a luxurious combination of dried fruit, chocolate, and spice, with remarkable balance for its age. This is a benchmark bottle for traditionalists who value heritage, consistency, and full sherry-cask character.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Glenfarclas Distillery in Speyside, one of Scotland’s few family-owned distilleries (since 1865), this expression reflects a long-standing commitment to traditional methods and sherry cask maturation.
Glenfarclas is renowned for aging its whisky in Oloroso sherry casks, which define the character of this 30-year expression. Over three decades, the whisky develops profound depth—integrating oak, fruit, and spice without losing vibrancy.
Bottled at 43% ABV, it is designed for elegance and drinkability rather than intensity, showcasing the distillery’s hallmark style: rich but controlled, sweet but structured.
