Color

Deep gold

Nose

Quite brilliant! Lots of fruit jams, tangerine, apricot pie, guava, pineapple. Plenty of honey and beeswax. Hints of vanilla pastry. Some buttercups. After a while it gets a tad more spicy and herbal with mint, soft ginger and thyme. And even bigger hints of juicy apricots.

Taste

Creamy start, still plenty of fruits at first (oranges, banana) with waxy notes. Some coconut. The oak then starts to move forward. It throws in some spices (ginger, soft pepper, gingerbread) but no excessive dryness. Some fruit liqueurs and fruit tea in the end.

Finish

Long, half spicy, half fruity. Mainly oranges now and oak.

Comments

A great Glenrothes that combines a nice fruit basket with balanced oak. Too bad the price has taken quite a hike recently.
