Glenfarclas 21 Year Old

Nose: Malty sweet citrus, pears, green grapes. With time, a bit of nutmeg.

Palate: Floral honey, almond nougat, citrus again, salt. Easy-going in the best way.

Finish: A tiny bit of smoke, not a campfire, more like a match. Pleasant. Nuttiness at the very end.

This is surprisingly light for it's age and it's quite delicious. I just wish that this was bottled at 46% like the 15 year old.

The flavors are delicate so the light amount of smoke is well suited and complimentary. The almond and citrus notes that I kept getting reminded me of a century old gelateria that I visit often. The smell of almonds from pistachio-almond gelato, spumoni, and pastries as well as the smell of lemons from lemon ice permeate the walls and overcome the senses. I love when a whisky can invoke such memories.
