Congrats on 5k followers to end the year!!! Happy for you!! Cheers!! 🎉🤗🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks to you as well. You are part of this too

[@kirbycalgary2844]

Also the Glenfarclas 21 is $259 Canadian but co-op cask at55.1% is $169 it is a sip it all day long

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Co-op cask sounds like a winner. Cheers!

I think I prefer the 15 with its higher ABV. Maybe the 105? But it's been a minute since I've had the 105.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I like the 15 as well. The 105 is hot and might have too much cask influence, but both are very good.

[@johnk7093]

love MWF, WiJ and SLB..... great whiskey days..... Have the 25, and love it.. I agree with you, for the price, glad I have it, but won't be buying another one.. cheers.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Have you had the 15 or the 105? I like the proof of those better than the rest.

[@johnk7093]

@@whiskeyisajourney I have had the 12, 15, and the 25, I think the 15 is my favorite. but only have the 25 on the shelf at the moment.

[@McIntyresMalts]

Completely agree with your opinion on this one Peter. Would suggest the 15 is the sweet spot in the core lineup for Glenfarclas

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I like the 15 as well. Cheers!

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

Unfortunate. Glenfarclas is one od my favorites. I will admit that i have not had the 21 yet.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I'm basing my decision off of the flavor profiles of the younger offerings being similar but less expensive. Might as well save some money and get something similar for less. The 21 is good, just a skip.

[@graveshotx]

One of the best pours I had this year was the Glenfarclas 2001 Family Cask. Only problem is its high price.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I've heard good things about the Family Cask. If I have an opportunity to try it in 2024 I will. Happy New Year! Cheers.

[@hazydavo]

Love the 21 but yeah the price is up there (for me anyway). So which GF would you buy??

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Going forward I will probably only get the 15, but the 12 is the most available.

[@hazydavo]

Have had the 12 but not the 15. Will need to get my hands on a bottle and give it a go! Cheers

[@lyacoubian]

Barring the outrageously expensive Family Casks, the 17 year old is my favorite among the core range. For those who yearn for higher proof, the 15 and 105 should fit the bill.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I'm a fan of the 15 and the 105. I was shocked by the proof of the 105, but it's heavy on the raisins, dates and plumb notes. Borderline too much.

[@cato451]

I think you nailed this one the 21 year-old is a decent single malt for sure but I’ve always thought it would be a slam dunk if it was 48% ABV

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Like the 15 and the higher proof 105. Those are good proof points.

[@hombreleon]

I’ve had the 105, the 12, and the 25. I would give the 105 the top prize but the 12 over performed for me. I felt the same way about the 25 that you felt about the 21. It was a good pour, but not that much better than the 12 considering the price jump. I do have the 21 and the 15 waiting to be opened, so I’ll be giving them a try soon. 👍🏼

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I had the 15 in a flight with other 15 year old single malt scotches. That video is coming out in 2 weeks. It was a very difficult matchup and it went up against some tough competition. Cheers!

[@Watchman999]

I would buy the 15 all day and depending on the price of the 21 I would buy it again.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I'm all bout the 15 and the 105. They are more my proof point. Happy New Year! Cheers!

[@justwhisky]

Nice honest review. The 17 yr is very nice albeit the 43% Cheers 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks John. I prefer the 15 and the 105 over this. Happy New Year!

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Would love to find the 21 but not sold in my region so never had it. Only have had the 12

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The 12 is good. The first time I tried the 12 it was a butterscotch bomb. It has since calmed down and settled into a nice easy sipper.

[@kirbycalgary2844]

Thanks for the review Peter I love the 21 but I just opened up the 21 private caskfor co-op 55.1% is so damn good By the way, merry Christmas and happy New Year’s to you and your sister

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The private cask sounds delicious. Merry Christmas and Happy New to you as well. I will pass on the message to my sister for you. Cheers!
