Glenfarclas 21-year-old

Not bad, no need to buy a bottle.

Nose: Sweet sherry, smokey vanilla and liquorice. Bananas and pineapple. A hint of lemon. Body: Medium/heavy weight. Almost creamy. Taste: Very sweet, coming from that pineapple. A mixture of nuts, with some spice. FInish: Long with smooth spice. Some banana and oak. Verdict: The price you pay for this 21-year old is very reasonable. However, I find this dram lacks the complexity and is too mellow for its age. At 46% and maybe using some more interesting sherry casks could make this a lot better. Nevertheless a dram I can enjoy.

The similarity to the 15yo is greater than that to the 25yo.

An OK whisky, but it's a bit simple and underwhelming for a 21 YO. The nose is where the event is, it's wonderful if you let it open up for 10-15 minutes. The finish does not match the nose and initial taste.

Intense sesame nose and nuts. Soft woody, floral and dried Sherry fruit. Warming average final. Not very complex but good.

nose "typical" Speysider, very mild and soft, clearly nutty, amaretto / marzipan, sweet bright fruits (ripe pear, boiled quince, vll mirabelles), honey, slightly dry bitterness, europ. Oak is present, more pleasant, rather light sherry, garden herbs, nicely ripe, dense, everything very well integrated, later comes some vanilla taste Sweet, dry and spicy start, stronger than the nose suggests, there are the 21 years, alcohol is not noticeable, then comes light sherry, sweet, like juice, round and velvety soft, very clear honey, then the nut, in some ways maybe Milk chocolate, easy to drink (maybe a bit too light), falls slightly off the nose, the Brennereicharakter is still through, very harmonious and consistent leaving Rather short, it remains a pleasantly dry, vinous mouthfeel with oak, nut, honey and herbs A beautiful, mature Sherrymalt, harmonious and round, great balance between barrel, sherry and Brennereicharakter, the Nussigkeit I like very much, should not overwhelm anyone, the taste is a bit too thin, 46% vol might not have been bad. At the price (~ 60-65 €) you make sure nothing wrong.

Tasting at the Xth Tasting BR, then rejoicing again at home. Expectations were much greater after Glenfarclas 12 and 15yo. Those younger and much cheaper whiskys addressed me a lot more. At home, I placed it in a comparative test with King Ronert II Deluxe and Ballanines 12yo, and Glenfarclas 12yo stable single malt. The smell was cheaper (King Robert II), the other two were better. But to make the twenty-one not worthless, the bland blend had a certain hippolytheality, and G21 added some kind of smooth elegance. However, the result is rather miserable due to the price. Due to age and price, great disappointment for me.

sssssoooooooooooo boring, better to get the 12 or the 15 instead and save yourself some hard earned cash because this is definitely not worth the price and very very disappointing as a 21 year old

Though their house style of whisky has been defined as heavy on the Sherry casks, Glenfarclas doesn't fall in the sticky-sweet-am-I-drinking-rum style of whisky. The malted barley is always present and the barrel aging offers more than just dried fruit. So they've got that going for them, which is nice.

The nose mellows with a few minutes, becoming quicker as the bottle gets lower, and begins to really show the depth of the maturation. The alcohol and cough syrup notes fade, and the sweeter and woodier notes take the foreground. The palate likewise benefits from time in the glass. For me, adding water doesn't add much, so I don't recommend it.

A very reliable, gentle, well balanced Glenfarclas expression. No wonder the master distiller manager Callum Fraser told me this to be one of his favorite expressions (the other one he said is the 15yo) It is kind of a middle of the road whisky imho.

delicious ripe whisky, less sherry and less oak than the 17er, but more lawful and quiet.

Modern, rather easy drinkable - not bad

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2021/11/25/scottish-drive-by-2021-part-4-6-ardnamurchan/ N: After some less-than-adequate Glenfarclas experiences of late [WLP], this is the Glenfarclas I know and love – stylistically that is – though incredibly, I’ve never before tried the 21yo in its own right. This is a fresher, less fusty Glenfarclas [of old], with a bready citrusy complex. Furthermore, this one’s moreish consolidated sherry influence is noted. T: Lovely,… not too complex, just so with a relaxed freshness/[modern] youthfulness throughout,.. slightly metallic,… F: Though fresh to the last, nothing is overt, it’s all [again] ‘just so’ in a comfortable rounded/consolidated way. The relaxed freshness resides. C: Pleasing easy drinker which doth’s one’s hat to the past & present rather well. Much like the GlenMo but for different reasons, I’d recommend this to beginners and enthusiasts alike. Incredibly, it’s just €78 on the mainland! Lucky Europeans.

I really liked the aftertaste - cool, with tones of chokeberry. Great whisky! Worthy representative of Scotland! 22 22 23 22

Nice beeswax, malt & honey (90) Single dram note (Dramfest NZ 2012)

After 15-20 minutes the aroma opens up, getting much richer, more complex even. Splendid.

Nose: sherry, oak, a bit smoke, flowery, typical Glefarclas character, thick and warm Mouth: soft and mellow, sherry, very nicely integrated oak Finish: a bit tanins - but not negative, sherry candy (?), a bit malty, medium long ,tad grassy and earthy, orange marmelade Comments: Mellow and enjoable. Nothing earth shattering but pretty good. I like it. For it`s age the price is very good as well.

I like this whisky, at first it tastes like intensive sherry, but in finish only these delightful oak tasting. Only oak, no sherry.MMMh

A disappointing Glenfarclas! Sherry's notes are almost non-existent and all the other flavors are as powerful as the voice of Carla Bruni ... There is almost nothing in the glass. For 100 €, prefer something else! This 21-year-old Glenfarclas is largely dispensable. What will I do with my bottle ...

Nose:- Trademark rich dried fruits and peels of citrus freshness. Very pleasing. Balance with sweet dates, marzipan and tinge of roots and dried leaf earthiness. Zing of tobacco. Palate:- Great depth and full. Well rounded and silky, sweet barley and nutmeg freshness. Elegant and standing tall. Finish:- Ultra smooth and velvet, long finish. — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

I found that giving this whisky time brings out the best in this whisky, but adding water does not.

Wonderfully crafted and well-balanced whisky that only improves if given enough time to breath. Not as much cask influence or as sherried as the 25-year-old, but its light sherry character works nicely alongside the fresh fruity notes this dram has to offer. The fact that it is very fairly priced makes it all the more appealing, especially for those who would not otherwise be able to afford a 21-year-old single malt whisky.

Banana chocolate muffin with white wine, spicy oak, black pepper and prunes. RATING: 87pts - [n22,t21,f22,b22] → |86-89: Remarkable|

Fruity (cooked pears and dates) and slightly chocolaty on the nose. Sweeter and far less sherry-heavy and "old" than expected. In the mouth again chocolatey and slightly fruity but unfortunately also relatively thin. The chocolate intensifies in the finish. In addition, there are finally dark raisin notes that you would expect from such an old sherrymalt. Unfortunately, there is also a certain bitterness in the background, which suggests that the barrels have been filled too often. Length: 5/10 Overall nice chocolaty sherry representative, which is a little too unconvincing for its age, but makes up for it with its PLV. A few percent more would have done him fine too. Grade: 2+

2011 bottling: A true masterpiece by ''Glenfarclas''. Very complex and at the same time wonderfully juicy and tasty. Immaculate casks and great aging have produced a malt that can convert even the doubters. Impressive!

Underachiever. Overpriced. 21 years should have much more body and complexity. Appreciate this distillery's fine history and reputation and while this is still a good dram, this distillery has done much better with other offerings.

Nose: more fresh fruit still has raisin but yellow fruits apricot, peaches Palate: not bitter like dark chocolate, but from the sherry at the start then afterwards more of the sherry, creamier than the 15Finish: long finish a bit bitter from sherry

Fantastic nose. The flavors is very nice and the peppery attack is really good. Not much to complain about.

A really good sherry!

Sampled this in a line up of Glenfarclas 13 (SMWS bourbon cask), 10, 12, 21, 25, 40, and the 105. One of the better ones. I preferred it over the 25.

Nose: -Peach,strong Oak,Citrus,green Apple,Caramel,Pineapple,Vanilla,light spicyness Taste: -Oak,light Sherry tones,Spices,bitter,Pineapple,Vanilla Ice Finish: -long,soft with a faint smoke O: Probably the Malt with the lightest Sherry Influence in the core Glenfarclas Range. It's extremely well balanced and again, fairly priced.

Considered by the PLV, my best from Glenfarclas. The difference to the 15: the 21 is more sweet and less sherry dominates. But more vanilla and therefore it has the better character of a distillery. Personal impression !

When you are looking for an older, substantial single malt that isn't outrageously expensive, consider Glenfarclas 21. Intense fruitiness, green apples, gooseberries and hints of pineapple dominate the nose. Fresh herbs, heather honey and faint smoke of 'burned stuff' linger in the background, adding a pleasant complexity. The age of this malt shows in the taste: heavy cask influence with wood spices and tannins combines with fruits and vanilla, culminating in a lasting, nutty and slightly dry finish. A characterful and intriguing Speysider for sophisticated palates. RATING: 4.0/5.0 stars ≙ 88 pts → FIRST-CLASS

Tasted on 06-12-2020 at Helgoland.

So for its 21 years the Glenfarclas surprises me with its great fresh fruit cocktail in the nose. The taste is also very tasty after a little getting started. Compared to its older brother, the Glenfarclas 25y, I find it much fruity and less barrel-dominated. However, if you expected a classic sherry malt with lots of dark fruit and the like, you will be disappointed. I am not at all. It shows the Glenfarclas nose and taste that is typical for me. At the current price for a 21y it is certainly an option to buy.

Very good, ripe whisky framed with a high degree of fruitiness. Perfect both drunk solo and with a little water. Strong sherry, raisins and chocolate make it quite an outstanding drink for little money. For me, one of the best whiskys, and additionally a cigarette smoke, which adds an additional aftertaste of well-baked yeast dough along with the other flavors. Pride!!!

I love Glenfarclas and the way they approach things, this 21 expression is another proof. There are definitely better whiskies at that age but I cannot find any bettwr in the price range sitting close to 100 EUR

really complex, really nice taste

Blind tasting. The body is solid, oily, and quickly settles down in the glass. The first nose is intense and bright. Lots of raisins, Madeira. Then red apple peel, strawberry jam. No alcohol. Definitely the influence of fortified wine. It develops interestingly into a perfume-tropical theme of Jamaican rum, mango soapiness, chalk, minerality, pleasant acetone, bubble gum, fruity rottenness of Jamaican rum. Taste: Smooth, oily, warming but not alcoholic, probably 43-46 (blind tasting. determined to be unaged). Taste follows aroma but is very blurred and loses to aroma. Noticeable sour bitterness of oak and apple seeds. finish: all the same, dried mushrooms and rubber cable braiding with a tropical theme of Jamaican rum appeared. I didn't like it. Watery and bitter.

Definitely drinkable. But you can't tell the 21 years are there. While the price is in keeping with its actual age, it's objectively quite excessive.

I never really bothered with Glenfarclas as the few drams I've had never impressed me enough to justify their asking price. But I saw this 21 year old at a discount for €90 (usually around €150). I mean, €90 for a 21 year old whisky? Sure. Yawn.. There is nothing in this whisky that tells you it's 21 years old. If I were to drink it blind, I'd say it's some 8-10 y/o 3rd or 4th fill sherry cask by some random IB. Spicy, fruity and thats about it. One of those bottles where you pay for the name and age statement, certainly not for a quality liquid. Even at €90 it's not worth it. Whisky itself is 84/100. With value taken into account 82/100 at most.

Rather underwhelming for a 21yo. I would have expected something heavier, with more sherry influence and more pizzaz.

In my opinion a relatively fresh citrus fruited presentation but a lack of depth due to x-filled sherry casks. Not much sherry going on here in the finish. Quite a simple presentation concerning the sherry part for a 21-year old whisky. Concerning price/performance ratio: 7/10

A sophisticated, dryish sherry in the delightful Farclas house-style that is fresh and light in a good way. What I really love about the way the Grant family does their business is the quality combined with a foot-on-the-ground pricing of their core range. Where else do you get a really good 21 OB for 65€ nowadays?

dark fruity sherry notes in this one. Nice.

Glenfarclas 21 year old is a real highlight in the distillery’s line-up of expressions – it’s flavoursome, very well put together, and extremely balanced. It’s not a sherry-bomb, but offers just enough sherry to those who want it, whilst a variety of other interesting aromas, tastes and inflections for those seeking more. At just a shy under £90, this offers great value for the quality of the liquid and experience. https://www.thedramble.com/tastings/glenfarclas/glenfarclas-21-year-old/

expected a bit more

Original Rating 2018: Numbers only - 90 points ================================ May 2022 Glenfarclas 21 year old SMSW 43%. 30ml sample at home May 2022. A nice natural-looking yellow. Aroma is pear, green apple, some lemongrass and pale biscuits. Refill casks, a bit ‘furry’ and musty. A fight between the fresh fruity vibes and the musty clay-like ones. Body is moderately oily. Taste is salty on impact, some russet apple peel and pear peel, salted crackers, becoming bitter and astringent, mixed pepper and chilli. Can’t detect any European oak character here at all. Not the experience I feel like I’ve had in the past with Glenfarclas 21 (either may palate has changed or there's batch variation). It’s fine but the cask quality just doesn’t seem to be where you’d expect it to be. Nevertheless I’m one of those weirdos who can enjoy a bitter musty refill cask vibe so I still find this enjoyable enough. 3.475/83 ================================ SEP 2022 Glenfarclas Aged 21 Years, HSMSW, 43%. 50ML miniature Sep 2022. Very dark golden. Aroma had candyfloss, simultaneously fruity and vegetal, fruit cake but some spinach ... or maybe its more that ‘old style spirit’ cheese rind note I get from whiskies distilled a couple of decades ago. Body is watery. Taste is watery, underpowered, faintest fruit n barley squash, lightest spiciness, papery oak. Pretty underwhelming and light, watery. Building peppery spice. Not much character coming through. Hmm. Perhaps it should have been bottled at a higher abv. Pretty underwhelming up front but grew on me. Always pretty boring though. 3.45/82

light amber / dark rich gold - a good single malt, fits into the somewhat disappointing one Series of older Glenfarclas bottlings from the standard series - Sherry unfortunately only very subtly recognizable - at originally about 70 € a good price for a 21 year old Single malt, currently about 120€ too expensive for the quality

Aroma - with age the aroma becomes softer and more refined. Light sweetness, powdered sugar, Taste - smoke has appeared, the taste is still the same characteristic, it becomes smoother and more rounded. Sherry, dried fruits, dried apples, dried apricots, pear appear. Sweet fruity aftertaste.

A dark amber-gold, full sweet vanilla delicately smoked with a rich and long lasting finish. Glenfarclas 21yo is delicious stuff, and a bargain at this price.

Significantly fresher and lighter than eg the 17yo or 25yo. The finish is shorter and sweeter. Recognizable a Glenfarclas, but for 21 years mMn a bit too young.

Nose: Spicy. Toffee/brown sugar. Raisins. Malty. ChocolateTaste: Toffee. Christmas cake. Cinnamon and cloves. Milk chocolate and coffee.Finish: The dried fruit sweetness and toffee fades away. It dries out with some roasted nuts, coffee and feint notes of dark chocolate. Very balanced. But also a bit toned down. Not the big full blown sherry punch. But good.

For 21 years you get very little here. Even if the price is interesting, there is still a lot of quality on the track here. Nevertheless, the low price must be rewarded. The overall impression of this whisky is rather flat, unspectacular and almost meaningless. The flavors are indicated at best - 20.05.2017

Conclusion and pictures on: https://tomtrinkt.de

A cheap 21-year-old, but it is also watered out to 43%, at the same time it is not exactly used much first or second time filled barrels. Barrel character dominates, along with a distaste that I can not quite put my finger on (herbs of any kind).

Very tasty glenfarclas, soft and balanced.

Very balanced and integrated Speyside. Lovely nose. Solid depth that may not quite hold up to other whiskys of a similar age statement. I got my bottle for $135, which is an excellent value.

It has a relatively watery viscosity and its bouquet is relatively intense. I have aromas of nuts, dried fruit, creme brulee, apricots, raisin syrup, chocolate and orange. Moderately complex. A good balance between sweetness and dryness in terms of taste. The alcohol is very well integrated and it has a very light body.

Another solid bottling, as usually, from Glenfarclas. Very balanced and a mix of the sweet cereals of the 15yo and the spices and dark chocolate of the 25yo. Still being one of the cheapest 21yo in the market is a great option, even though its younger 15yo brother is still my favourite in their core range.

Sweet, rich, perfectly balanced. The smoothest middle aged, sherry matured whisky what i had so far. A bit too round for me - however the perfect "Lady Whisky" (according the feedback from the Whisky Live Shanghai 2012).

There is new packaging available the 21 year old with 101 World Whiskys before you die - very nice present. Of course is the 21 included in the list.

Overall, a great aroma experience! He might be able to tolerate a little more% vol, which is quite gentle.

looks ripe but quite boring, nothing special, for the 2016 now and then required 57 € ok, but for 21 years simply unspectacular - better Glenfarclas are characterized by more acidity and usually more, more intense orange notes or berry notes - I drink already forever at the bottle - it will not be empty.

Wonderful nose! A higher alcohol content would raise this malt to a different level - more percents, more points; Nevertheless, a pleasant, beautiful single malt. The longer the malt is open, the more he opens up and becomes "better" ...

Overall, a little more pleasing and sweeter than the 25-year-old, which brings even more oaky spice and light acidity. The 21-year-old is in complete harmony. It would be the crowning glory if he had 46%, like the 15-year-old sister bottle.

Great whisky in PLV, just considering its age. Unfortunately nothing extraordinary either. A typical glenfarclas, only in old. N- Orange, Vanilla, Biscuits, Ginger. Almonds, butter, Christmas cookies, cream, wax, some burnt wood M- still a bit watery in the first few seconds, it quickly becomes oily, and the medium bitter oak soon spreads thickly on the tongue and leaves beautiful, very intense nutty aromas with a pleasant bitter spice load of cloves and sandalwood/liquorice

n: intense sherry, mature & sweet, fruity, old wood, dried fruit, hint of vanilla t: pleasant, sherry & wood a: sherry, walnuts, sweet, good to explore

A complex dram, need another go at it and add couple drops of water to let open up a bit.

Clear difference compared to 15YO, here the intensity is replaced by a flavor that is dominated by sweetness, feels less sherry, but there`s more vanilla and hints of yellow fruit.

A rock solid malt; However, I miss something "own", especially when I think that this Glenfarclas is 21 years old.

Tasted blind, thought this must be something young

If you are at the beginning of your whisky journey, stay away from Glenfarclas 21. In my humble opinion, a beginner is someone who tried less than 100 whiskies.

RATING: 87pts – |87 – 89 (B+) → Great| — Always nice to have a bottle of this.

Tasting: 01.2025 Sample: 5 cl.

Tasted in blind. Inference Moderate alcohol presence, decent volume—estimated at 46% ABV. Clear Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry influence with nutty Oloroso notes, suggesting a PX & Oloroso cask combination. Slight sulfuric elements like egg yolk and rusty coins, but not the spices from European oak maturation. Palate leans nutty, with hazelnut, peanut, and walnut dominating, reinforcing the Oloroso cask presence. Three distilleries come to mind based on the profile: Glenfarclas, Glendronach, Bunnahabhain A bold, somewhat dirty sherry-matured whisky with a PX-driven punch. Estimated Specifications Cask: First-fill Oloroso & PX sherry cask maturation. Age: 12–15 years ABV: 46–50% Distillery Guesses: Glenfarclas, Glendronach, Bunnahabhain Blind Tasting Reflection First time properly tasting Glenfarclas’ core range outside of 105. Better than expected, but does this really feel like a 21-year-old whisky?

boring not worth the price

Soft and fruity nose, with a drop of water bringing out even more fruit and vanilla. Sherry is present but doesn`t dominate. Full and smooth on the palate, with only a slightly over-dry finish bringing it down from being a top level sherried speyside malt. Excellent value for money...but I really wish they would bottle it at 46% like the 15yo.

Overall i value this whisky average to ok

A decent aroma, the age is felt, there is depth and complexity, although in general it was not as bright and saturated as expected, the taste at the beginning was giving hope, but, alas, could not reach the fragrance by sliding down to the monotonous lacquer-wood dominant. The result is weak, unbalanced and uninteresting for such years.

Smell mild and unobtrusive, taste vanilla, sweet tobacco - even pungent, against the cigarette flavor - with mild soft aftertaste, not so long. Nice, no more. Glenfarclas is not that expensive for its age; nor is it very complex for its age.

beautifully complex, multifaceted and very well balanced

Maybe this one is not for me. Good for smelling. Inappropriate for drinking.

An excellent sherried Speyside whisky with a great balance of sherry, fruit and oak spice. Very smooth, palatable and thick with a great value for money. Nicely complex with lots of character. I like it! https://www.facebook.com/Whisky-Connaisseur-550443305109776

Aroma: intensiever sherry, dark fears, citrus fruits, oak Taste: sweet, dark fruits, pineapple, sherry, oak Finish: medium length, citrus fruits, oak

n: light sherry nose with cereals and nuts. some vanilla, pastry, a little butter shining through. the oak is rather mild but becomes louder after a while. the fruity side is ruled by apple skins and maybe a few oranges. t:  very much on the cereals, bread, pastry. malt candies and toffee. rather dry but pleasantly so. f:  long, a bit dull on wet tea leaves as often with glenfarclas ( as far as I´m concerned) comments: pleasant dram but nothing I would have to run after. 85/100

Between the parallel tasted (12s, 15s, 18s, 21s, 25s) the most sherrylastigste and heaviest, but the muff disturbs something. Still, if I had to choose the best one out of line it would be this one. However, qualitatively the same with the 25, just different. Hard decision!

The nose is wonderfully fruity. The taste of the Glenfarclas flattens off a bit, there are hardly any fruit notes left. The taste and the finish is dominated by a spicy and sulfur oak note. Unlike the 25-year-old Glenfarclas is 21 years old sherrylastiger. A rock solid standard.

A big and firm body.

Balanced complex sherry whisky, light smoke, sweet and fruity.

Smell mild and unobtrusive, taste vanilla, sweet tobacco - even sharp, against the cigarette taste - with a mild soft aftertaste, not that long. Nice, no more. Glenfarclas is not that expensive for its age; nor is he very complex for his age.

The 21-year-old Glenfarclas is available for a good price and that of course makes you curious whether this whisky is a real price / performance hit, or whether, despite the low price for 21 years of aging in sherry barrels, the whisky is not in his Home bar needs. It is amber-colored in the glass ... a whole lot lighter than 18-year-old Glendronach Allardice, who I had in the glass yesterday. I immediately have a wonderful fruitiness on the nose. But not the cooked, dark fruits and plum jam with a very heavy sweetness from very active sherry casks, but rather a fresh fruitiness with red berries, sweet apples, orange and lemon peel. During the longer smelling, I have a touch of peach and pineapple, the apples are now drizzled with a little honey. The fruitiness is closely interwoven with a spiciness with pepper and a little cinnamon. Dark nut chocolate is now noticeable in the background and the wood of the oak barrels is getting stronger and stronger. Overall, a very pleasant load of aromas, the whisky is pleasantly soft and harmonious on the nose. The Glenfarclas is very tasty in the mouth, a little pepper and a very slight ginger spiciness can be felt on the tongue but otherwise the whisky caresses the mouth ... soft, soft and a little too watery for my taste. The slight spiciness on the tongue feigns power, but the intensity of the aromas and the volume are simply missing compared to whiskys with a higher alcohol content. I also have the fruits of smelling in my mouth, but this time less sweet and less distinct, but sprinkled with pepper and a touch of cinnamon. The spiciness is more dominant than on the nose, the nut chocolate fades towards walnuts and coffee, a little bit of leather and tobacco are noticeable. The tannins get stronger and stronger, but after 21 years in oak barrels that's a good thing, otherwise you'd better grab a 12 year old whisky. Everything stays harmonious and soft in the mouth ... very pleasant, but somehow not really exciting either. The finish is just about medium long with a little grapefruit, the aftertaste of sweet apples and a little cocoa powder. The tannins with slight influences of leather, tobacco and oak overlay the other flavors. A little too lax for my taste. Overall, this is a really easy whisky to drink. I could imagine this wonderfully on a summer evening with friends. It has rather light, fresh aromas and no oppressive, heavy fruit sweetness. And yet it also has a spiciness and tannins, all of which are well integrated. This whisky is sure to please people who have nothing to do with whisky. Dangerously tasty! But: this is not a highlight for the discerning whisky drinker. There is a lack of intensity, abundance, rough edges ... this bottle was definitely not a bad buy! On the contrary, I think the whisky is really good for the price and I even like it better than the 25-year-old brother. A whisky that I like to have on hand for cozy summer evenings with family or friends. I got 86/100 points.

S 6 A thick, enjoyable sherry dram with a unique layered spice experience. However, lacking a bit of complexity for whisky in such an age. N 25 - Expressive semi-sweet sherry aroma (raisin, juicy fruit) - Barley - Honey hiding behind the sherry sweetness P 24 - Intense barley at first - Then dried fruit sweetness - Peppery spice sparked momentarily, with warm winter spice remaining at last - Creamy mouthfeel F 22 - Mid-short, dry finish - Touch of orange peel - Malted barley

Mixed feelings. Even though I am not a huge sherry fan, I liked this one but on the other hand I find it a little too "light". Tasted at Whisky Live Paris 2015.

The is wonderfully fruity, a lot of sherry, but also oak and vanilla. With that one knows again why I like Glenfarclas so much ...

In my humble apinnion, this miss a lot of vask influens and abv. Glenfarclas use the cask 4 times and that van you notes on r This one. I mixed the 21 andre 105 andre it became stunning 250ml of 105 andre 100ml og the 21 let it married in the bottle 4 weeks then have 1 glass and wait 2 moren weeks and it became amazing. On the nosse: Full pluss,chili,oak,marsipan,oransj taste: reel power kick off plums and oak,chili,pepper,oak spises finish: Long lasting plums and spisyness full bodied Wold say 89poins

Very creamy nose, almost syrupy, spicy honey, conifers, with a hint of anise. Red fruits, of course, but more on jam, even syrup, than natural. Currants, blackcurrants, cranberries. The mouth is still as creamy, cherry tart, or is it raspberry? Rather both. The spices rise, paprika, saffron, nutmeg, a pinch of cloves and pepper. The finish is up to par, woody, on cereals and heather, long enough, dry earth, chestnuts. Goo. Always very enjoyable, but I'm moderately disappointed this time, it's more discreet, less deep and intense than the 15 year old I found https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2021/11/glenfarclas-21-yo.html
