Glenrothes, 1994 Vintage (Scotland)
The most recent Vintage to be released by The Glenrothes dates
from 1994, and, according to a Glenrothes spokesman, “For the
1994 Vintage, Malt Master John Ramsay was tasked to create the
most stimulating and uplifting expression of The Glenrothes.
Through meticulous cask selection and the experience of a
lifetime in whisky, John has succeeded in combining the
trademark flavour profile of The Glenrothes – the emphasis on
citrus, spice and vanilla – with the added twist of lemon
zestiness on the finish.” A soft yet citric nose, with vanilla
fudge. Fresh and approachable, with more citric notes,
especially lemon. The finish is medium to long, fruity and
gingery. A lithe, clean-limbed Glenrothes. Yet again, this malt
surprises with its infinite variety. 43.0% ABV, 70cl, £37.00,
specialist whisky merchants. |

Arthur Motley |
Nose
Orange: pith and rind. Lemon Jif and geraniums.
Palate
Dark chocolate, baked apples, hazelnuts and something sweet yet
savoury like black bean sauce.
Finish
Dry roasted peanuts.
Comment
A full-on, after dinner style and a bold, characterful spirit. |

Dave Broom |
Nose
Fleshily ripe. Dried pear, clotted cream with scented estery
notes. With water there’s wholemeal bread, a touch of orange.
Quite zippy.
Palate
A slightly strange mix of stewed fruit and dry malt tussling
together. Hint of sulphur. Seems young suggesting greater things
to come.
Finish
Long rich, lightly spiced slightly citric.
Comment
A teasing mix of aromas and flavours. |

Whisky Magazine Tasting Notes
|
Nose: Spice, spirit and
citrus. Fruitiness too, with a combination of pale sultanas and
sharp woodland berries.
Palate: Slightly spirity, spicy and with mixed peel
character.
Finish: Biscuity.
Overall: Youthful, but without the lip-smacking class of
the older vintages.

Martine Nouet |
Whisky authority Martine Nouet has identified The Glenrothes
1994 Vintage as being bright gold in colour with hazelnut
hues. The nose is of fruit gums, fresh apple and a touch of
gorse. It has the richness of lemon shortbread and custard
tart. On the palate the youthful vigour comes to the fore;
the 1994 Vintage is tangy and lively with hints of plum jam,
macadamia nuts and pepper dust. Overall, it is a stimulating
dram with lots of depth – distinctively punchy on the palate
and distinctly different.

A bottling with casks from different
years, inspired by the famous non-vitange offerings from
champagne. Keir found the following: "Werther’s originals. Soot.
Rum and raisin. Some solventy notes contributing to good
complexity. Soft. Creamy, lots of vanilla. Very pleasant!’ |
