This latest release represents the third generation of the Grants of Glenfarclas, George Grant (1874-1949), who inherited the distillery alongside his brother John, leading to the formation of their private family company J. & G. Grant at the turn of the nineteenth century.

Glenfarclas 50 Year Old - Family Collector Series Edition, is said to deliver notes of fresh sweet sherry, crème caramel and butterscotch on the nose, followed by notes of spice, treacle toffee, chocolate ice-cream and sherry soaked raisins on the palate.

The bottle is presented in a black leather box with a silver emblem of George Grant, third generation of the family.

Commenting on the launch, George Grant, Glenfarclas Sales Director, said: “we’re very excited to have reached the half way mark in our Family Collector Series. Thanks to my family’s foresight in laying down stock for the future, today we’re able to enjoy impressive age statements which is certainly a luxury worth sharing!”

Glenfarclas 50 Year Old - Family Collector Series Edition, will be available later this month from specialist retailers for a RRP of £1,800.
