Glenfarclas 21 Year Old

Nose: Lots of nose, oak and harsh wood. Of course vanilla, nuts and sherry. Taste: Again, harsh, wood, strong and bold. Bubbly and lovely. Summary: Lots of character, peppery, very nice balance. Light and a feeling of summer. Smooth and complex. Not that much sherry as hoped but still a great whisky.
