A heavily sherried 21-year-old from the Glenfarclas distillery. This offers loads of depth, a tremendous dram from the independent Speyside distillery.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Apple, orange, less sherry than the 15yo. Peppermint again?!
Incredibly smooth. Barley-rich, just a textbook smoothness and rounded character that leaves you gasping for another sip…
Long, barley-rich, awesomely smooth, very little oak influence.
Very, very pleasant. Could teach Roger Moore a thing or two about smoothness.
Save it for a special occasion because it goes fast. Very smooth, Pairs well with all foods.
Smooth sherried dram. With chocolate and coffee this is an excellent whisky. Great also without chocolate Some citrus.
My guess is the casks may have been refilled too many times before putting this down. Not much wood or sherry for something of this age. My patate may yet be a bit naieve but I much prefer the Glenfarclas 105.
I stole this heading from a gent before who reviewed this malt. I think it somes it up well. It's a very smooth, cherried malt, nice finnish but not overly long. Great price point but not overly complex. This is a lovely malt and I really liked it but I expected more from a malt if this age.
"I've found that as the bottle has gone down, the whisky has really opened up and revealed its true character." That's Glenfarclas alright. Regardless of which 'Farclas bottle one buys it's best to wait for a few weeks after opening the bottle and taking the first glass before going any further, and usually it takes a few months for their whisky to settle down and show all its colors.
