Glenrothes 20 yo 1985/2005

Glenrothes 20 yo 1985/2005

Official bottling

Single malt - Speyside
Warm amber
43% ABV
Mini

Nose: Raisins, vanilla, malty beer. Oat bread and hot cross buns. Dried cranberries.
Mouthfeel:
Thick, full-bodied, creamy, very static, no expansion.

Tasting: Sweet salty, pepper and cloves, Sultanas, honey and banana. Rich, deep and complex.
Finish:
Short but intense. Malty beer, raisin bun, hint of marmite on toast.


Comments:


Good mix of sweet and savoury flavours. Nice little Speyside, and very attractive little grenade-shaped bottles. Glenrothes does vintages instead of age statements, in 100ml bottles. Great for testing and tasting.

Verdict:

I like this.
