Remarks:
Nice Glenrothes.
in profile rather on the spicy side.
The oak notes are also somewhat in the foreground here.
Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
spicy sherry notes, leather, old oak furniture, very light pepper, some chocolate, wax appears slightly, some caramel, dried fruits. The alcohol seems slightly present. - Taste: 88/100 points
intense sherry aromas. Much more intense and powerful than on the nose, lots of dried fruit, old leather, the old oak furniture again, light fruit acidity, subtly sweet, caramel, some milk chocolate, towards the end it becomes tart and dry. Lots of spices. - Finish: 87/100 points
spicy sherry flavors. The subtle sweetness is not present here. All in all rather tart and dry. The dried fruits show up here too.
The spices and oak notes continue to have an effect for a long time.
