The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 40%
Score: 87 Points
The Glenrothes uses vintage years instead of age statements, so let’s call this a “no-vintage-statement” single malt instead of a “no-age-statement” malt. However, it’s still very much in the distillery’s character, with a smooth, soft nose that has touches of figs, dates, honey, brown sugar, and a hint of clove. The taste is fruity and spicy at the same time with baked apples, peach pie, nutmeg, clove, a touch of figs, and notes of honey and brown sugar adding balance underneath. The finish is mouth-watering and juicy with good fruity notes and hints of nutmeg and clove. (April, 2015)
