Glenfarclas 21. Image courtesy Glenfarclas. This classic Speyside single malt has a vibrant, powerful nose with notes of Christmas cake, baked oranges, spicy hints of clove, nutmeg, and roasted almonds, with a hint of marzipan in the background. The taste is thick, spicy, and intense with dried fruits, apricots, clove, cinnamon, a hint of plums, and a subtle smokiness. The finish is delightfully long, fruity, and complex with subtle spices. Excellent! (December, 2016)
