Words of Whisky (90)

:
The Glenrothes is excellent. Especially the nose displayed a beautiful balance and complexity. The palate couldn't quite keep up, but overall a very rewarding experience.

Nose
Very elegant with notes of juicy plums, milk chocolate praline, and kumquats. The lightest touch of soy, and just a whiff of cappuccino and caffé mocha, before continuing down a slightly more earthy dunnage warehouse path.

Taste
Thick and juicy mouthfeel, with cinnamon and grapes, while the oak tannins are quite powerful. Some will find it a little too much, for me it balances right on the edge. Polished leather, dark chocolate, figs and black pepper are also present.

Finish
Lingering chocolate, as well as red apples.
