      Beautifully balanced and so easy to drink. If you want a challenge in your whiskey look elsewhere.

      On the nose it has the signature toasty slightly burnt maltiness of Glenfarclas, but a lot more subdued then on younger expressions or the cask strenght version. There is lots of crisp sweet green apples and fresh honey here also. Maybe some raspberry too along with oakiness, gentle. I am hesitant to add water since it is low abv, 43%, also nothing on the bottle says it is un-chillfiltered nor natural colored i have to assume it is not. I am a not big waterer so i am not gonna add any. And yes this is noticable on the palate too. The arrival is great. It is bold, it is rich it is malty, but the developement does not shine here. It gets a little too thin to be honest. And the finish is unimpressive, it is light oak tanniness, with light maltiness. I am a little harsh on this probably but only because there is no reason for Glenfarclas to not to present it as an integrity bottling as Ralfy would say. The modern market and the modern palate of us, whisky drinkers is just over and bored of these inferior bottles that they are putting out. We pay a quite the amount for bottles these years, and they should at least deliver quality for the price! I would rather have the 105 version instead of this to be honest any day of the week. This expression is a sorry excuse of a 21 year old single malt.

      Light color. Citrus aromas and mild spice. Kumquat notes.

      Sherry and oak merge nicely with the apple and honey. Spices come next and a minty herby finish. Left wanting a little more from the ageing.

      Something’s off with this 21 year old. I want so badly to like it but there’s something bothering me with it. Been trying out a few shots of this bottle over a few months. It is not bad. Typical speyside oaky dram. A bit on the salty side. Seems to taste better with ice. I guess i expected more from a 20+ year old whiskey. Lots more younger whiskeys works better for me.

      Initially, I got the aroma of banana pudding, but that was followed by that of strong gingerbread spices. The flavor is spicy, but only moderately sweet. Mint in the finish. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).
