Score is for a bottle from 2003
You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Color
Burnished
Nose
Fresh, soft, forrestry, malty, flowery, fruity, sherry notes and a light spicyness.
Taste
Stewed pears, some vanilla, some sultanas slightly sharp but yet so soft and ceamy.
Finish
slightly firm and yet so soft, long and very tasty.
Comments
A delicious dram as an aperitif, it's also a very good dram to get people aquinted with a malt whisky. Such a shame that Balvenie has ceased its production. When you find one, buy it and never let go!!

I don`t have many 10 year old scotches and this one is actually really
nice. It has nice tones of smoke and vanilla. A nice one to share with
friends and use as a intro to some of the finer selections.

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Color
Deep gold
Nose
Orange-honey perfume. Musky. Faint hint of peat.
Taste
Honeyed sweetness drying to lightly spicy notes. Very lively. Just a touch of sherry.
Finish
A tingly surge of flavours, with lingering, syrupy honey.
Comments
Matured in 90% American oak and 10% sherry.
