Staff Pick Notes

Yes! It's one of the Glens, but you probably haven't tried this one, and you really should. Family- owned by the Grant Family, this is the real deal Speyside scotch. With scotch, the quality of the casks can be a more important factor than the age statement or the brand name. Big corporations try to squeeze out every ounce of profit, and that means not using top quality casks. With a family-owned operation, the family reputation is on the line. With casks in their dunnage warehouse from every year dating back to 1955, The Grants know they can't skimp on casks. Glenfarclas has the largest copper pot stills in Speyside, and those stills are also direct fired. This all makes for a robust and complex single malt, with sweet vanilla and brown sugar notes, but with a long lingering dry finish. Get to know this Glen! It's well worth it.
