Bart's story at the end was great!

Shhh we don’t say that out loud

This is a great review. I have always found the 21 a bit watery and have preferred the 15. The prices of Glenfarclas have gone up noticeably recently. There are certain distilleries that are beginning to take the p!ss. Including Glenfarclas. There is a crunch time coming I think - enthusiasts cannot keep absorbing these price increases. That said, I recently tasted the 15 yo again and even at £77 U.K. I will be buying a bottle. But a pound more, and I will be making a stand and not buy it again. Enough is enough.

The 15 YO at 46% wins by a nose, cheers guys

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks OneGlassMan!

17and21 are both decent.

A live interview with GFC staff 2 month-ago revealed that GFC17 and 21 will not return until 2025 (at the earliest), so they can divert stocks to the 15 and 25 . . . also, prices are going way up for GFC...

[@ScotchTestDummies]

ugh to both the 2025 release and the price increase

[@WhiskyNeighbour]

Love the 17 so if the 21 is better, bring it on. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

You bet!

[@richardamiro8266]

Good to see you together

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks!

[@scotchgod8478]

I remember when i could pick this up for only 75€ easily and that's only like 5 years ago😒

[@ScotchTestDummies]

yep, everything is pricier!

[@WhiskeySavages]

Gotta love Glenfarclas

[@ScotchTestDummies]

absolutely!

[@murduk88]

Glenfarclas 25 is my favorite whisky. The 21 is almost as good, just a smidge/smidgeon off it. 😉I think Glenfarclas does 100% sherry maturation, but they use lots of refill barrels, so their whiskys aren't the super dark-juiced up sherry monsters like you get from Glenallachie, Glendronach or Edradour. Cheers!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thats what we've been hearing about the sherry casks

[@marcwhiskey]

Yes its pop, not soda!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Bam

I mostly tasted fresh cut oak sawdust. I was expecting more sherry notes. I bought it for $110, back 8/9 years ago.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

great price even then!

[@darkoanton5]

I expect a big jump in price. As I mentioned before, the 12 increased 50%, the 15 just increased in the last few days 70%! I expect the same range for the core range.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

unfortunately

[@martinbeen]

I do believe the 17 Glenfarclas is a port cask.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

first we've heard of it if so...

[@YoJimBo851610]
