GLENFARCLAS 21 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 43%

Once a core part of Glenfarclas’s celebrated age-statement range, the Glenfarclas 21 Year Old was discontinued in late 2021, making remaining bottles increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. A quintessential example of the distillery’s sherry-led house style, this refined Speyside single malt spent over two decades maturing in high-quality oak casks, developing layers of rich fruit, gentle spice and elegant complexity. Bottled at 43% and presented with natural colour, it remains a timeless showcase of the craftsmanship and tradition that define Glenfarclas — one of Scotland’s most enduring family-owned distilleries.
