85- Nose
- Waxy orange-skins. Spices. Liquorice root.
- Palate
- Oily but firm. Dried apricots. Dates. Anise. Nougat.
- Finish
- Lightly dry, dusty, spiciness. Gently warming. Log fires. Good oak.
- Comment
- I have always felt that Glenrothes deserved to be more widely appreciated and this bottling confirms that opinion. It is on the sweet side, but beautifully rounded. A sophisticated afterdinner malt.
Jim Murray
87- Nose
- Extraordinary malt concentrate tempered with intense vanilla. Brooding and fabulously balanced.
- Palate
- A curious but enormously delicious amalgam of rich barley, toffee and liquorice. Extremely sweet throughout and with the softest of bodies.
- Finish
- Long, melt-in-the-mouth, with a hint of honeycomb and countering spice.
- Comment
- An improbably well-balanced and deliciously layered malt for it's age. An outstanding Speysider.
