Nose
Hard toffee. Peanut brittle. Fruitier (cherries?) when water is added.
Palate
Long development of sweet and nutty flavours. Nougat. Coconut ice.
Finish
Hard liquorice. Medicinal. Soothing.
Comment
An elegant and luxurious malt. Glenrothes. This is an elegant and luxurious interpretation of it.

Nose
Ripe and deep with dried fruits: sultana, apricot then (with water) burnt wholemeal bread crust.
Palate
Smoky/sulphur. Burnt but with soft concentrated dried fruit. Like liquid pannetone.
Finish
A little short.
Comment
Good, but not as good as the distillery bottlings.
