The Glenrothes 18 Year Old Whisky

This was very pleasant! Not mind blowing but a nice dram. As a gift to share with my dad on his 80th birthday it ticked all the right boxes. Would I buy it again? Probably not in all honesty, it didn't blow me away. But it was a nice dram. Not something I'd restock, but as a gesture it was lovely and capped a lovely day of fishing, a nice meal out and an end if evening celebration.

Very smooth, a pleasant surprise having not been exposed to much from Glenrothes. This is inspired me to try more of their offerings. A richer experience that the Glenlivet 18 in my opinion.

I don’t usually rate Glenrothes so highly, but this is very smooth & fruity. Oranges, sultanas, vanilla & Bakewell tart.

There is wonderful fruity complexity and spicy roundness at the same with smooth vanilla sweetness wrapping it all up. Gotta get another bottle at once.

Not a bad taste, but very prickly on the tongue and unsmooth sensation. Won’t buy again at this price range.

Plum, red apple, soy sauce, mushroom, not quite truffle, orange, meaty; spiciness swells slowly into the finish, lingers a bit, and trails off quickly, not a sherry bomb, but very satisfying.

The best Glenrothes I’ve had in years. Better than most of the vintages, and that’s really saying something. I’m enormously impressed by the complexity

Very nice bottle. Perfect winter dram and an excellent edition to the rothes single malt legacy. Think vanilla ice cream !
