description Glenfarclas 10 Year Old Overview
Glenfarclas 10 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky produced at the Glenfarclas distillery in Ballindalloch, Speyside. The whisky is matured for a minimum of ten years in oak casks, with a significant portion of the maturation taking place in ex-sherry casks, which imparts flavors of dried fruit, sherry, and spices. It is the core entry-level expression in the distillery's lineup, designed to represent the traditional Glenfarclas flavor profile. The distillery remains independently owned by the Grant family, who have operated it since 1865.
