Cuvée presentation

Glenfarclas 30 ans 1988 embouteillé en 2018. Cadenhead est fondée en 1842 par George Duncan, rapidement rejoint par William Cadenhead qui, après la mort de Duncan en 1858, rebaptise l'entreprise à son nom. Cadenhead meurt à son tour en 1904 et c'est son neveu, Robert Duthie, qui reprend les rênes de l'entreprise et en fait la maison de négoce que nous connaissons. Après lui, elle est gérée par une de ses employés, Ann Olivier, dont la gestion hasardeuse conduit à une grande vente aux enchères à Christie's (Londres) en 1972 pour renflouer les caisses. Cadenhead est ensuite vendu à J. & A. Mitchell and Co, également propriétaire de Springbank, et déménage à Campbeltown. Lancée dans les années 1990, la Authentic Collection rompt avec les embouteillages à 46% des deux décennies passées pour privilégier des embouteillages brut de fût. Elle devient la gamme principale de Cadenhead. Édition limitée à 222 bouteilles.

The distillery Glenfarclas

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: J&G Grant International. Independent & family-owned

Perhaps due to its status as an independent, family-owned distillery, Glenfarclas is a textbook case when it comes to tracing 70 years of Scotch whisky abroad. In addition to the intrinsic quality of its malt, heavily influenced by sherry cask maturation (until the late 1990s), it is also one of the most interesting brands to collect.In a time when most malt distilleries were producing in the shadow of blending companies (1950), the owners of Glenfarclas crossed sea and ocean to the United States, South Africa and Australia in order to sell their single malt. In the following decade, The Glenfarclas literally flooded the Italian market, which had something of a taste for very young malts (The Glenfarclas 5 Year Old 1971).Paying close attention to its customers' needs, the distillery released numerous bottles and labels, creating a varied range of young and aged versions, sometimes vintages, single casks, small batches and cask strengths, all whilst maintaining its authentic character. This led to a large number of limited editions bearing the name of the bar, restaurant or importer and sometimes even the name of the private client for whom the bottling had been produced.
