Family-owned Speyside distillery Glenfarclas is marking its 190th anniversary with Glenfarclas 190, a limited edition single malt drawn from spirit distilled over the last five decades.

The ex-sherry casks were selected by distillery manager Callum Fraser and managing director Douglas Belford, sourced through a long-standing relationship with a family-owned bodega in Jerez, Spain.

It is bottled at 51.4% ABV, non-chill filtered and of natural colour, and limited to 15,000 bottles at £95. The release goes first to specialist UK retailers, then to selected global markets. The distillery has stayed in the same family for six generations.
