Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Huge cake mix like aromas, caramel, shortbread, Demerara sugar and a hint of eucalyptus. Certainly not shy. Best neat and as it develops there's citrus, spiced apple juice, celery and parsnip chips. Rounded and quite hefty.
- Palate
- Dense and slightly fungal, chestnut mushrooms and leaf mould.
- Finish
- A hefty charmer –John Betjeman or Robert Crumb would appreciate the build of this.
- Comment
- Give it time. Balanced, complex and recommended.
Dominic Roskrow
90- Nose
- What a curiosity. Lots of fruit jelly notes, polished oak, traces of smoke, chicory coffee, and toffee.
- Palate
- Altogether bolder, bigger and spicier than the nose, a mouth-coating malt with white pepper and tangy fruit.
- Finish
- Quite long, marmalady and peppery. Different, too.
- Comment
- A stylish combination of two distinctive Glenrothes styles: red berries and zesty grapefruit.
