Tasting Notes whisky-info

Geruch:   Ein super tollen Geruch; Kann man den ganzen Abend riechen und man entdeckt immer was neues. Sehr fruchtig und reich an Aromen.

Geschmack: Sehr fruchtig nach Zitrusfrüchten, wie Orangen und Zitronen, aber auch Sherry (erinnert an die Spanischen Brandys), Schokolade und liegt super angenehm auf der Zunge.

Fazit: Super lecker, Traumstoff

Whiskyfun by Serge

Glenrothes 1973/2000 (43%, OB)  Colour: pale amber. Nose: very rounded attack, starting very nutty and malty, on some bold notes of walnuts and walnut liqueur (nusswasser), hot praline, baked pears topped with caramel. Gets then quite flowery (peonies), with also some fresh vanilla. A very nice nose, very ‘cosy’, very classical and perfectly balanced. Mouth: oh, this time I feel it lacks some body, and the attack is sweet but unusually grainy. But it’s quick to adjust its aim a bit, with again quite some praline, fudge, caramel, honey… We’d probably like more oomph but it’s a very nice all-rounder, although the recent 1972 (see above) is much, much better in my opinion. Anyway, 85 points for the 1973. (November 23, 2005)

Maltmaniacs (Black Book)

Glenrothes 1973/2000 (43%, OB, 70cl) - 81 points
Nose: Ah... This is very nice indeed - sherry, wood, spices and furniture wax. Quite complex but very subtle as well; you really have to work at it.
Taste: Malty. Bittersweet and woody - but not too much. A bit softer than the young-uns.
