Comments: 

Cask 6147. The whisky is cloudy, a sign of the intense flavours within. There is a lot of sweet stuff, as you'd expect from a sherry butt, but there's more. There's something earthy, even tannic, which I'm told is characteristic of Glenrothes (I guess that's plausible. I don't believe I've had enough Glenrothes to know :)).

Verdict:

I like this.
