Whiskyfun by Serge

Glenrothes 1988/2009 (43%, OB, Asia) Colour: deep gold. Nose: ha-ha, very well picked because it really noses like the 1998 with ten more years. It's exactly in the same cluster but there are many more interstitial aromas between the main notes (please read above again ;-). Some leather, hints of eucalyptus and maybe even mint liqueur, quite some chestnut pure, a little more wood smoke (including whiffs of pine), hay, rich plum jam, a touch of liquorice and only faint whiffs of fresh oak. And toasted brioche. And marzipan. And marmalade. And croissants (Serge, this is no breakfast!) A rich and complex nose. Mouth: now it really differs from the 1998, being bigger and, most of all, longer and wider. More crystallised ginger for a start, then more honey, ripe fruits and marmalade and finally a much bigger spiciness involving pepper, cloves, a little cumin and juniper. Slight grassiness in the back. Definitely bigger than the 1998. Finish: once again, longer than the 1998 and fuller, rich, with some Demerara sugar remaining on your tongue for a long time. Comments: an excellent, rather nervous version of Glenrothes. And entertaining. SGP:552 - 88 points.(26 June 2009)
