“As a Liveryman of longstanding, I am delighted to once again be supporting the brilliant work of The Distillers’ Charity. It is amazing to see the difference that has already been made to the lives of so many young people and it is my hope that this piece of Glenfarclas history will contribute to the ongoing success of the charity.”
For Distillers One of One 2025, Glenfarclas Distillery have produced a one Gallon bottle (4.5 Litre) of 58 year old Glenfarclas Single Malt, housed in a unique oak box. Matured in a first fill sherry butt, the whisky is bottled at 45.4% abv and housed in a hand carved oak box carved by renowned Scottish sculptor Stuart Murdoch. With his workshop less than 1.5 miles from the Glenfarclas, Stuart agreed to produce the box in support of the charity and because of his close proximity to the distillery. The design is inspired by the beautiful Scottish landscape around his home and the distillery.

Glenfarclas Distillery
In 1865, Glenfarclas distillery, nestled in the heart of Speyside, was purchased by a cattle breeder by the name of John Grant. Today, the Glenfarclas spirit still lives strong and continues in family ownership under the direction of the 5th generation, John LS Grant.
Glenfarclas means ‘Valley of the Green Grassland’ and the spring water, which ensures the verdant grass, is essential to the distinct flavour of Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Whisky. It bubbles up, crystal clear, from the underlying granite on the slopes of Ben Rinnes to supply the distillery below.
There, it is combined with the finest malted barley, twice distilled in traditional, direct fired, copper pot stills and only the lightest and best fractions of alcohol are collects ed. This liquid, known as Spirit, is filled into the finest Spanish Sherry oak casks in which it lies maturing over many years.
t.mes s may have changed, but it’s what has stayed the same that makes Glenfarclas unique: the five generations of Grant family pride and the revered quality of their famous Single Malt Whisky.
