Glenfarclas 60 Year Old launched in Taiwan, 5^th of February 2015

J.&G. Grant officially launched the Glenfarclas 60 Year Old in Taipei, Taiwan at the beginning of this year – a great start to the 2015 calendar for Glenfarclas! Preparations were underway for 2 days to make a spectacular Glenfarclas themed event for the 60 Year Old unveiling.

The interior of the events hall was decorated with a Glenfarclas style living room, including a cabinet full of Glenfarclas whiskies, artwork on the walls with Grant family pictures, warehouse photos, a collage of old whisky labels and even a Glenfarclas vinyl next to the family’s 175^th Anniversary book.

George Grant took to the stage to present the Glenfarclas 60 Year Old – a rich and full bodied whisky which develops full flavours of dried fruits, coffee, cinnamon and cloves. George explained the Grant family history and the momentous decision of his grandfather, also George Grant, to start putting stock aside during the late 50s & 60s for the future generations. Thanks to this foresight, Glenfarclas now presents an exceptional age statement from a first fill sherry butt which since late 2014 has been sold in over 20 markets and continues to be launched worldwide.

Grant says “It’s such a pleasure to see the Glenfarclas 60 Year Old reach so many corners of the globe, and achieve such high demand. Out of the 360 bottles available worldwide, the majority of these have been sold in Asia, principally in Taiwan and China, which makes this Glenfarclas product launch in Taiwan seem only fitting”.

Glenfarclas 60 Year Old reaches Bulgaria, 7^th of February 2015

Ian McWilliam, Marketing Executive, continues the worldwide Glenfarclas 60 Year Old Launch in Bulgaria at the Whisky Experience Festival. It was presented during the first Whisky, Rum & Wine Master Test held at Fabrica in Sofia attracting quite the sizeable crowd of whisky enthusiasts!

The Glenfarclas 60 Year Old was described as an incredibly rich & fruity whisky specially selected from a first fill oloroso sherry butt; it boasts a beautifully dark mahogany colour and intense flavours of sherried fruits, treacle, oaky tannins and roasted coffee beans. Presented in its Glencairn crystal decanter, with crystal base alongside a hexagonal box, the Glenfarclas 60 Year Old is designed to represent the 6 generations of the Grant family. The family signatures, from John Grant (1805-1889) to today’s 6th generation, George Grant, Glenfarclas Sales Director are inscribed around the crystal base.

This monumental Glenfarclas expression sincerely reflects the core character of Glenfarclas as a product, but also as a company. The Grant family’s commitment to sherry cask maturation and their exceptional history in stocking so many single casks reinforces the family vision of creating a Single Malt Scotch whisky which is unique and continues to stay true to the Grant values of independence, authenticity and quality.
