Glenfarclas 21 Year Old

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?

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

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.

I must've gotten a bad bottle the first time I purchased this from a shop: serious taste of old, wet wood with everything else quite diminished and and a quickly disappearing aftertaste. The one I'm tasting right now has much bolder aromas with none of that 'soggy cask' taste to taint it, and it lingers on the tongue and in the throat much longer. Good stuff for the price it commands.
