Thoughts: This does feel like a step-up from the 16-year-old although they are very much cut from the same cloth. The 21-year-old has that little bit of depth that only comes from a lengthy period in oak. There’s a tannic note that runs through the whole experience. The nose in particular is pleasantly complex though the palate can’t quite live up to its promise. Water opened things up a little but some weight and mouthfeel was lost as a result. A pleasant if somewhat predictable example of a mature Speyside. Tomintoul and Glenlivet". Cairngorms National Park Authority. 18 May 2018 . Retrieved 9 December 2019.

Yet it seems rarely to be discussed or written about in any great detail. It makes my job that little bit harder when it comes to finding something interesting to talk about!
