Interesting fact… Glenfarclas 21 Year Old whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Glenfarclas 21 Year Old whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Apple, orange, less sherry than the 15yo. Peppermint again?!Palate: Incredibly smooth. Barley-rich, just a textbook smoothness and rounded character that leaves you gasping for another sip…Finish: Long, barley-rich, awesomely smooth, very little oak influence.Overall: Very, very pleasant. Could teach Roger Moore a thing or two about smoothness. ...more

After the 15 year the 21...
peppermint yes - nose and palate. Also some green grass. Long long finish - bittersweet. Less fruit cake than the 15 year for sure - but some citrus in the background? Rounded and smooth. Indeed, is it too rounded and smooth for its own good?

A great whisky
Nose: Lots of nose, oak and harsh wood. Of course vanilla, nuts and sherry. Taste: Again, harsh, wood, strong and bold. Bubbly and lovely Summary: Lots of character, peppery, very nice balance. Light and a feeling of summer. Smooth and complex. Not that much sherry as hoped but still a great whisky. /Jens, www.chwisgi.com
Whisky?
Yes,you get peppermint and citrus + a whole range of whisky tastes. Oak is there as always (it is whisky after all),to describe it as 'harsh' in this case is, to me, simply wrong. While I don't entirely disagree with previous comments I want to comment on the smoothness and lingering special after taste.
