Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary

The Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary celebrates the 185 years since the producer began distilling legally in May 1836, although illicit distilling is said to have been going on since the late 1790s. The Grant family has owned Glenfarclas since 1865 and have been the guardians of Glenfarclas ever since. Contrary to the 175th release, there’s not any clear info about the ratio of casks used for the Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary. Ten years ago each decade was represented pretty much equally, but I don’t know if that’s the case again now. However, this latest anniversary release is bottled at a higher strength than the previous one. Around 6,000 bottles were released of the Glenfarclas 185th Anniversary.
