          History

          There is evidence that the distillery first started operations sometime before 1791.[1] The distillery was first granted a licence in 1836[2] when it was run by Robert Hay.

          On 8 June 1865 it was bought by John Grant and is still owned and run by his descendants, making it truly independent.

          John Grant sent his son George G. Grant to run the operations at Glenfarclas. In 1890, on the death of George G.

          Grant, his widow Elsie took over the licence for the distillery.[1]

          At some time over the following years, Elsie handed active management of the Distillery
