Tasting Notes Royal Miles |
Nose: Tropical fruit: apricots,
cumquats, kiwi, lychee. Dough, apples and custard (sounds like
school dinners!)
Taste: Smooth and soft again.
Shortbread, dry wood and spice.
Overall: Might be too oaky for some.

Malt Advocate |
Glenrothes, 20 year old,
1984 Vintage, 43%,
This 1984 Vintage is similar in profile to its older 1972
Vintage sibling (reviewed above), except that the 1972 Vintage
expresses greater depth and has more oak to balance the
sweetness (the sherry notes get a bit sappy in this 1984
expression). The 1972 Vintage also evolves more on the palate,
and it is more intriguing. But don’t let this keep you from
trying this 1984 Vintage expression. It is still a very
enjoyable whisky (and more economically priced).

Glenrothes
1984/1996 (43%, OB) - 75 points
Nose: Sherry and fruits. Something nutty and 'veggy' as
well. Currants? Cherry? Hmmm... It's around 11 years old, but it
feels a bit younger.
Taste: Malty with a touch of sherry. Bittersweet.
Pleasant but slightly rough around the edges. |
