Tasting Notes whisky-info |
Geruch: Riecht sehr angenehm nach
Früchten
Geschmack: Vanille und Zitronen, ein wenig Honig,
liegt super angenehm auf der Zunge. Hat was getrocknetem Heu und
Heidekraut. Erinnert an einen Dalwhinnie nur viel besser.
Fazit: Sehr lecker, ein typischer Glenrothes ohne
lästigen Sherrygeschmack. Leider in Deutschland sehr schwer zu
bekommen! |

Malt Advocate |
The Glenrothes 1974
Vintage (29 year old, 43%)
Style: Speyside single malt scotch
Color: Amber gold
Aroma: Full and creamy. Floral, honey, fruit gum drops.
Palate: Rich and mouth-coating. Clean. Nicely balanced. Notes
of vanilla, honey, and assorted fruits up front, followed by
spicy oak notes, with a dried fruit finish.
General Comments: This doesn’t taste 29 years
old—there’s no excessive woodiness, just a tad dry on the
finish. This vintage is not as heavy or sherried as the previous
1979 release, exhibiting more finesse. Personally, I think a
little more sherry would have enhanced the whisky’s flavors and
helped to balance some of the dry notes. But still, it’s a fine
effort just as it is.
Available nationwide (Skyy Spirits, 415/315-8000).
