The Glenrothes Select Reserve Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Dec,07 in Tasting , Glenrothes

“A heavy sherry influence on the whisky. Almost there.”

A bottling with casks from different years, inspired by the famous non-vitange offerings from champagne. Keir found the following: "Werther’s originals. Soot. Rum and raisin. Some solventy notes contributing to good complexity. Soft. Creamy, lots of vanilla. Very pleasant!’ Natural colour.

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (86): strong. tobacco, peaches, nuts, sulphur, honey, citrus.

Palate (87): oily, powerful. fruits, wood, nuts, honey, citrus, heather.

Finish (85): longer than average. wood, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenrothes Select Reserve with 86 points over 100.
