The Glenfarclas Distillery remains one of my favorite distilleries. This may come as a bit of a surprise to those who know of my fondness for first fill ex-bourbon casked whiskies, with their strong vanilla and toffee flavors, whereas Glenfarclas is particularly famous for utilizing European oak ex-sherry casks, much like does The Macallan. However, this continuously family owned and managed Speyside distillery consistently produces fascinating whiskies which, sadly, are underrepresented on shelves in the U.S. market.
