Malt Advocate |
The Glenrothes (1979
Vintage, 43%)
Amber color. Lush, rich aromas of rummy toffee, nuts, vanilla,
with interwoven notes of glazed fruit. On the heavy side of
medium in body, and silky. There are layers of sweetness on the
palate (toffee, caramel, marzipan and dates), becoming nutty
with a pleasing oak woodiness to balance the sweetness. Long,
dryish finish with notes of spice and fruit.
Style: Speyside single malt Scotch whisky.
Availability: specialty retailers nationwide (imported by Skyy
Spirits, 212/213-9777).
This is my favorite of all the vintage releases
from this distillery. It is rich, nicely balanced, with great
depth of flavor.

Tasting Notes Royal Miles |
Nose: Full and complex. Stewed apples,
floor lino, caramelised brown sugar, perfume, white grapes, and
aniseed.
Taste: Custard, green fruits and a short dry finish.
Overall: A complex nose deserved the high score it
received, although some were disappointed by the length. |

Glenrothes
1979/2002 (43%, OB, 70cl) - 83 points
Nose: Very rich. Sherry, but a hint of pine as well. A
little oily, just like the '89.
Taste: Many different layers of wood - the multiplex
malt. A tad too bitter for me.
