sample in a restraunt. leather, wood, charred oak, musk and caramel, some stone fruit
Slight red berries, plenty of ginger, some honey, some roasted nuts, spearmint, a hint of tobacco, malty booziness (but not harsh). Juicy at first, then drying, with some novacaine-like mouth numbing, with barrel oak showing up a lot late in the finish, but then cycling through the other flavours, one or two notes at a time. It's solid, but doesn't really stand out (it covers the common 21 year old whiskey notes) or have as much sherry cask influence (it tastes more like it was finished for a year in it rather than aged exclusively in refilled sherry casks, like it actually was).
Top, even better than the 25
Best taste to value out of the 15,17,18,21, and 25 age statements. Very good whisky that stood well above the others when tasted side by side.
n: sherry sweet vanilla caramel l, later some apple,
t: fruits vanilla/karamel some oaky spice taste
f:dry sherry raisins

A personal favorite to bring out for parties of people who have started to venture out from their norm. An affordable whisky for the age you are getting it at. This was the first whisky I discovered dust and leather notes.
Ein klarer Favorit mit ganz viel Sherry.
Ich liebe diesen Whisky!
Sofort ganz viel Sherry, fruchtige Aromen, eine schwere Süsse
Rote Früchte (Beeren und Sauerkirschen), Rosinen, eine aussgeprägte angnehme Süsse
Entwickelt sich langsam und natürlich
Langangaltender Sherry, keinerlei Schärfe oder Sprittige Aromen
great, rich, gently matured, complex, old malt
very soft and mild, already comparatively complex (way more complex than the 18 YO); a little bit of warm sweetness, a little bit of coffee and oak aromas, grapy sweetness, dates, sherry aromas; getting deeper and more heavy with some time; a little citrus aroma, more oak, a slight hint of tobacco; very late some apricot aroma
rich fruity (mature), oak and spices, a little bit less fruity than the aroma suggests; later on some figs and raisins, gentle hints of coffee
again more fruity and sweeter, very dark and dried fruits, oak begins gentle but stays long
Very gentle, a lot of fruity notes, but dominated by a grape note. Some malt notes and sweet notes of barley sugar and raisins as well. Oily and wood complexity in the back, but no wood spice. Great, but not what you'd expect. lacks the pop that would lead to a second bottle
standard whisky
goed van smaak
It's the perfekt evryday drink smoke,sitrus spises reely reely nice
A 21 yo going on 17 yo. Good balance but lacks complexity and outspoken character. Would benefit from a higher ABV
Nose
86
typical sherried nose: red fruits (raspberries, cherries), some candy and licorice, a not too outspoken wood note, herbal elements (sage and thyme, some clove and nutmeg), also some sulfury and musty notes. Adding water drowns things, unfortunately.
Taste
85
Less diverse than the nose. Dense, with red fruits and dried nuts leading the way with a slightly, not unpleasant wood bitterness. adding water livens things up, but also makes things a bit sharp
Finish
82
rather short, dry and woody. longer after addnig some water with nutoil joining in, making it a slightly sticky.
good smokey whisky, smooth 21 year old
Sherry, Zitrus, sanft
Smooth, silky, some fruits notes like apricots and dried fruits
Glenfarclas is consistently appealing for its notable sherry flavors and excellent value. This offering is no different. Sweet and fruity nose - orange, sherry, and chocolate stand out. Refreshing as it hits the palate with dark chocolate, honey and citrus peels. Creamy and buttery with a mildly spicy finish - the dram is both smooth and tasty. Excellent value and a must buy in its age range.
good fragrance. sherry and vanilla
Very enjoyable. Im allways happy to pour myself a glass of this sherry heaven. But personal preference says GlenDronach for sherry whiskies. This is quite different though and Im happy to have tried it.
ziemlich gut. Sherry mit leichtem Rauch und Süße. vielschichtig in der Nase. dennoch lieber den highland Park 12.
rich and full of flavour
Good old Glenfarclas. Nothing to complain about. Complex and smooth dram with a lovely nose.
Sweet sherry, lots of vanilla, alcohol not evident, almonds, oranges, and black cherries.
Mild oak, hazelnuts, espresso and milk chocolate. Cinnamon and nutmeg.
dry with dark chocolate. Peppery touch.
