Original Glenrothes Profile

Jim Murray�s Whisky Bibel 4th/5th Edition

The Glenrothes Select Reserve db (87) n20 just when you wonder if a touch of sulphur has crept in, all is lost under an avalanche of ripe oranges. Jury's out; t24 one of the softes deliveries in Speyside, the silky barley and citrus caress the tastbuds with rare tenderness; a drop of honey assists; f21 again there is a strange note to the coffee and cocoa finale; b22 definitely flawed greatness. 43%

Kaspar Spirituosen Essen

Einer unser absoluten Favoriten und aufgrund der konstanten Nachfrage unserer Kunden, hat es der GLENROTHES SELECT RESERVE wieder den Sprung ins Sortiment geschafft! Mit seiner intensiven, goldenen Farbe regt er die Sinne an. In der Nase macht sich das Bukett von Vanille und Kokos (Bourbonfaß?!) breit. Im Hintergrund der Duft von reifen Pflaumen. Im Mund geschieht dann das, wofür ihn viele Genießer lieben: Volles, kompaktes und dennoch weiches Mundgefühl. Vorne herum eine feine Süße, Vanille und sein charakteristischer Duft nach Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Ausklang, danach ein eleganter Nachhall. Einfach nur sympathisch!!!!

Arthur Motley

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.
Comment
Youthful, but without the lip-smacking class of the older vintages.
 

Dave Broom

Nose
Crisp oak, malt bins/shredded wheat, estery. Hot bracken, patisserie (almond, vanilla) kumquat, praline. Seems young.
Palate
Spicy and fresh. Decent depth in the centre. Good flow. Light milk chocolate, clootie dumpling mix, citrus peels, hazelnut shell.
Finish
Dry cereal, nutty, young.
Comment
It's a perfectly decent dram but not a patch on the great vintage bottlings.
