Glenfarclas Easter

History of the distillery

Glenfarclas (from the Gaelic "Valley of the Green Grass") is a family owned distillery located in Ballindalloch, Speyside, Scotland. Like many other Scottish distilleries, they began operating clandestinely and kept up until 1836, when the former owner Robert Hay obtained a license.
The Grant family, who have owned the distillery since 1865, have been producing Scotch whisky for generations using traditional and manual methods.

The distillery started with just 2 stills at the time, but has now grown to 6 stills to keep up with demand, but is still totally independent. It has its own cellars that can hold up to 52,000 casks.
Glenfarclas products: diversity and excellence

Proud of its origins, the whiskies are reduced to the water of the Ben Rinnes mountain nearby. To give them a particular profile, the whiskies can be matured in Sherry casks, American oak casks, bourbon casks and others.

Did you know that contrary to some preconceived ideas, lamb will marry perfectly with a red wine?

Contrary to a long-held principle that has fortunately fallen into disuse today, lamb meat, although white, will ideally go well with a red wine, and preferably a Bordeaux. Care should be taken to avoid all wines that are too concentrated and full of new wood. On the contrary, one will look for elegant tannins and a vivacity that one will find more easily in the soils of the Medoc or Graves.

And for chocolate dessert ?
If the white wine, and the red wine, can abound with aromas of chocolate, typical of mature wines, one also finds more opulent wines proposing this roasted aroma. The wines will have to compose with a certain sweetness in order to "fight" with cocoa. This is why we prefer a "mutated" wine, if possible on an old vintage, or a rosé champagne, acidulated and fruity.

It is in this perspective that the Chateau.com team has composed its selection of wines for Easter.
