Glenrothes

  • Glenrothes 11 Years Old 2007 Mossburn No. 26

    Again another insight into unerderlying spirit character with masses of maltiness present from Glenrothes. Slightly less vanilla/wood/cask influence though this is a little younger too. Continue reading

  • Glenrothes 21 Years Old 1993 Kumquat Cluster

    Glenrothes 21 Years Old 1993 Kumquat Cluster Whisky Review: A superb tropical fruit and cream dessert of a whisky, reminding me of some fantastic home-made cheesecakes. 91/100 Continue reading

  • SMWS 30.98 Bring on the dancers

    SMWS 30.98 Bring on the dancers whisky review: A fairly true to form Glenrothes, I just noticed I pulled (finally) one of the same tasting notes as on the bottle in caramel apple granny! Diminishes only in the fact that… Continue reading

  • Glenrothes 1974 Private Collection

    Glenrothes 1974 Private Collection whisky review: A delicious nose and initial palate on this old Glenrothes before the sherry wood really takes over, a shame really as if it reserved a little body and sweetness throughout this could be an… Continue reading

  • Glenrothes 11 Years Old 2006 Celebration of the Cask

    Glenrothes 2006 Celebration of the Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review: A very fruity, sweet and spiced sherry influence with hints of some of the more favourable flavours for me such as nut and chocolate. Plenty of spice and sweetness… Continue reading

  • Glenrothes 1996 Toasted Anise

    An effervescent dram with real multifactorial qualities, my overall opinion of this reminded me of spice-like popping candy with creamy vanilla in chocolate orange segments. A real smorgasbord of flavours but quite complimentary and integrated. 88/100 Continue reading

  • Glenrothes 8 Year Old The MacPhail’s Collection

    Youthful and direct, bitter-sweet lemons but quite refreshing and lively/zesty this ended up being relatively one-dimensional ‘lemon juice on pancakes’ 81/100 Continue reading

  • Glenrothes 24 Years Old 1989 Small Batch

    Another Glenrothes that I really like, and again in the 18-25 age group. I feel some of the younger and official bottlings sadly didn’t really impress me enough to be memorable. This bourbon barrel vatting from Cadenhead’s however has a… Continue reading

  • The Glenrothes Alba Reserve

    I found this expression unimpressive, it definitely improved after breathing with some of the spirit/new make elements fading but not as complex or full-bodied as other Glenrothes expressions. 75/100 Continue reading
