The Glenrothes 1988

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 92 Points

The nose has great notes of sandalwood, dried orange peel, cocoa powder, and a subtle touch of almond. The taste is full of dark chocolate, vanilla, old leather, and hints of tobacco and almond. The finish is long with notes of dried orange peel, hazelnut, and wood smoke. Excellent.
