Expert Review

7/10

Entry-level expression from family-owned (Grant family, six generations) Speyside distillery. Introduced 2011. Like all Glenfarclas, matured in Spanish oak sherry casks using direct-fired stills — old-school production rare in modern Speyside. 40%. Honest, sherried, traditional Speyside at a bargain price.
