Product Description

John Grant was a well-known cattle breeder who bought the Glenfarclas distillery and Recherlich farm in 1865. The land was an ideal halfway staging post between his existing farm in Glenlivet, and the cattle market in nearby Elgin.
The distillery was purchased for 511.19sd. Since farming was Johns priority, he let the distillery to John Smith, who later established Cragganmore distillery. However, during this time, the cattle drovers and workmen certainly enjoyed the sustenance of a dram of Glenfarclas!
In 1830 John Grant had a son, George, who was later to take over the farm and distillery in 1889. Sadly, George passed away not long afterwards. Subsequently, the licence for the distillery was passed on to Georges widow Elsie. She then appointed her two eldest children, John and George, to take care of the business
