Members' comments "Needs more time. Alcohol a little too much, malt a little too sweet. Still a good malt". This is a mellow but not big whisky. Improves with repeated tasting, but too oily". "Too much wood, which is surprising" "Predominantly alcohol. Not in the same clas as 25 or even 21 year olds". "Good quality malt, not as distinctive as the older Glenfarcli, but neverthheless a worthy member of the family". "Side by side with 21 and 25 years old shows relative lack of refinement; not enough flavour to match the alcohol". "Biting". "Harsh finish".
