In 1836, John Grant, a local farmer from Ballindalloch in Moray, Scotland founded Glenfarclas scotch whisky. It’s located on the site of an ancient castle and was originally called “Glenfarclas Castle”.

In 1858, James Grant inherited the distillery from his father and set about expanding production capacity. He also began exporting whisky to England for the first time; previously there had been little demand for Scotch outside of Scotland itself. In 1868 he rebuilt much of the distillery after a fire destroyed much of it; today this is still known as ‘Old Kiln’.

It wasn’t until 1908 that another change took place: James Grant passed away without having married or had any children – so ownership passed into new hands (those belonging to John Smith). Under this new leadership came further modernization efforts including adding steam power instead of manual labor during fermentation processes.

Here are some of the most important things to look for when choosing a Scotch whisky:

• Aged whiskies tend to be more expensive than younger ones, but they also have a higher quality and flavor profile. If you’re looking for something that’s going to give you the most bang for your buck, it might be best to go with something younger (and therefore cheaper). However, if you want something with a bit more complexity and depth in its flavor profiles, then an older whisky may be worth exploring.
• Region of origin/distillation method used during distillation process (single malt versus blended). Single malt whiskies are made from malted barley that has been distilled at one distillery using one wash still and one spirit still; whereas blended whiskies contain different types of grains or grain mixes distilled at various locations using different production methods–like column stills instead of pot stills–and then blended together afterwards into one final product before bottling it up into bottles ready for purchase by consumers like yourself!
