Imagine finding a super rare bottle of Glenfarclas 21yo at a bar, and when you get to give it a good look, you realize that it is Cask Strength exclusive edition, and now you have the opportunity to grab a dram of it without paying for the full bottle. It just can't get any better than that. This 21yo special release, was bottled at 54.2%abv, and was a exclusive expression for The Whisky Exchange retail store. It has a lovely "art deco" 3d glowing label that stood out from a group of other fancy bottles. On the nose, it starts with Lemon peel; Greasy ham, hazelnut; sawdust.  After 3 minutes the classic red apple from Glenfarclas appeared. After one sip, the aroma gave me toffee, caramel; after a couple of minutes, the toffee has overpowered everything. On the palate, it is a marvelous dram. Apple peel. The flavor is uncanny. Apple juice. A classic Glenfarclas spirit. Spiciness rised very quickly and powerful. A cinnamon bomb. Aftertaste was the best part. Hay; sawdust, strips of oak, some hot flavor. This is like the most classic Glenfarclas ever; it is like the heart of this distillery. When you think of "farclas" you think of this exact profile. Burnt oak, burnt grass. Super long. Overall, this is by far the best Glenfarclas i have ever had. The higher abv has given it a powerful flavor driver. My score for it is 93 over 100 and i think i am a little unfair with it, it deserved more. Lovely decanter though.
