Distribution of ratings for this:
Color: Dark gold
Nose: Pleasing confluence of gingery apple crisp, cherry cobbler-- and chocolate sauce.
Palate: A brief sweetness of sour cherry quickly turns to a showcase of oaky spices like ginger and nutmeg.
Finish: Deep sweet and spicy warmth. Long lasting.
A definite joy, I can imagine this drunk in a Dickens Christmas. More complex and better balanced in all flavors than the Glengoynes 10 and 17. The spices could maybe be balanced by more deep fruit, but it is hard to complain: The 21 is easy and interesting to drink.

Couldnt agree more with your review, i reviewed it myself and was impressed at how easy the dram is to drink, and even for a 21yr old how smooth it is, which to me seemed to fit in with the majority of Glengoyne expressions.
