Glenfarclas 21 Years
This exceptional single malt is among the cheapest of all 21-year-old malt whiskeys. It contains more smoke than other Glenfarclas. But in comparison only a subtle touch. The sherry taste takes a back seat in favor of oak, vanilla and fruits.

Nosing: 
Definitely redfruit wrapped in christmas spices
Taste:
Finish:
Comment: very rich all the way through. this is my first "old" whiskey and i wasn't expecting it to be so sweet, but it maintains the sweetness while also adding layers through it's age. The nuttiness you often find in other sherry cask scothes is much lighter, but still present, so that's why I went with hazelnut.
