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) |

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.
