Glenfarclas 21y 0.7l
Colour: Dark amber-gold. Nose: Intense, full of aromas sherried fruit, tropical fruit, nutmeg and almonds with slight citrus notes at the end, all held together with a vanilla sweet smokiness Flavour: Full bodied rich and rounded develops slowly into fruity, smoky and spicy flavours. Finish: Long-lasting, smooth a smoky with a chocolate feel at the back of your throat. Comment: An incredibly rounded whisky that leaves you refreshed and contented. A whisky that always deserves a second glass. My personal favourite.

About Glenfarclas distillery
Glenfarclas means "Valley of the green grass". The distillery is about a mile from the Spey and set on a cattle farm [near] Ben Rinnes from which the distillery's water flows. Barley is grown nearby. The distillery grew out of the farm [but did not really take off till it was bought by a neighbour, John Grant in 1865]. The site, variously known as Glenfarclas, or as Recherlich is not far from the village of Marypark in the Ballindalloch area.
The distillery is large and successful [and] is the business of a wholly private, family-owned company J & G Grant. John and George Grant are not connected (except perhaps distantly) to any of the other whisky-making Grants and regard theirs as the most truly independant of all Scottish distilleries.
The distillery was founded in 1836 and has been in the family since 1865. Its still-house is modern and its stills the biggest on Speyside. They are heated by gas flame. A substantial proportion of the whisky is aged in first-use sherry cask, some in re-fill sherry casks and some in plain wood.
