1) Glenfarclas is the last distillery in Scotland still to use direct heating of all its stills instead of indirect heating. Around the year 2010 Springbank still used direct heating for one of its stills, but others were heated indirectly. 2) The visitor centre of Glenfarclas was opened in 1973, making it one of the first distilleries with this 'feature'. 3) Glenfarclas distillery uses 12 washbacks - all made out of stainless steel. 4) There are a whopping 30 warehouses on the Glenfarclas distillery grounds, all of the 'dunnage' type. 5) The number of stills at Glenfarclas was expanded from four to six in 1976.

Established in 1968 by Silvano Samaroli, the company has put a focus on bottling interesting, single cask whiskies from Scotland.
What makes it stand out is the fact that when Silvano (and his team) choose a cask of whisky, they often don’t leave it to continue maturing in that same cask until they decide to bottle it. Rather, they often re-cask the whisky into new (or virgin) oak to shift the style of whisky further away from what one might get in a regular single malt bottling.
Additionally, the packaging is beautiful, often decorated with lighter, pastel colours and intricate artwork, something far from the ‘traditional’ end of the whisky market.
