Glenrothes 1998/2009 (43%, OB, Asia) Colour: gold. Nose: classic
Glenrothes! No excessive youth but a very pleasant liveliness,
starting on typical yellow flowers (dandelions and buttercups),
light honey (acacia for instance) and some almondy/nutty notes
that we don't find in older versions. Goes on with notes of
Sauternes wine (quite some ripe apricot) and a lot of
butterscotch, vanillas and cappuccino and finally just a little
wood smoke and an extra youth kick between fresh big oranges
and ripe strawberries. It actually noses more like a 15yo than
like a 10/11yo Glenrothes and in that sense reminds me of a
1985/1997 that I enjoyed mucho at the time. Mouth: starts a bit
shy and narrow but that doesn't last for long. Quite some honey
and marmalade, other orangey stuff, ripe apples, toasted bread,
lemon marmalade then cinnamon and nutmeg from the wood. Candy
sugar. Rather medium-bodied and rather easy-sipping. Finish: not
very long but clean, mainly on honey and a little vanilla fudge.
Comments: the nose was much to my liking, the palate as well but
just a little more oomph would have been welcome. Maybe a
perfect whisky to quaff with food? SGP:421 - 84 points. (26 June
