Glenfarclas Announces 190th Anniversary Limited Edition
Glenfarclas Distillery is marking its 190th anniversary with the release of a limited edition bottling featuring five decades of whisky laid down by the family-owned distillery.
Glenfarclas 190, the final release in the Anniversary Trilogy, follows the distillery’s other anniversary expressions, Glenfarclas 175 and Glenfarclas 185. To create Glenfarclas 190, Distillery Manager Callum Fraser and Managing Director Douglas Belford selected and married 78 casks from the distillery’s warehouse. The release is presented non-chill filtered and with no added coloring, and is bottled at 51.4% ABV – formerly 90 British proof by the system used to indicate alcohol content for the first 154 years of production at the distillery.
Callum Fraser said of the new whisky: “Glenfarclas 190 perfectly embodies the flavour of Glenfarclas – from the smooth, rich, velvety feel on the mouth to the flavours of green apples, sherry sweetness, spicy Christmas cake and long finish with a touch of dark chocolate and fresh tobacco. By drawing on spirit across five decades, we were able to pull out the fruitier notes from the 70s, rich sherried flavours from the 80s and 90s, and the toffee caramel notes from casks laid down in the 2000s.”
Glenfarclas 190 is presented in bespoke packaging inspired by labels through the decades and is limited to 15,000 bottles globally. It will be available to purchase in the UK and international markets beginning August 2026 for a recommended retail price of £95.
