A now discontinued bottle of Glenrothes Select Reserve. This non-vintage single malt was selected by malt master John Ramsay and bottled up at 43% ABV.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
So I got the little three bottle sampler pack of this whisky and the 2001 and the 1998. Well, even though I didn't buy a whole bottle of the Select Reserve, I think it's a better deal than the other two. But then again, since it's NA, you never know what it will taste like next time around when a new batch comes out. Some times the distilleries will try to hook ya with a good one and then lower down the ages in the bottle. This batch is not bad. Let's hope it stays that way. Even after my purchase, I think I will stick with the Quinta Rubin by Glenmorangie when I want creamy sweet and the Classic Laddie by Bruichladdich when I want creamy cereal notes and white chocolate-y goodness.
Gave this as a grooms gift. Everyone loved it. Great smoothness and quality all around. None of the harsh burn or spice that' turns many off. Excellent choice!!
no character,no flavors,not as described, a little bit iodine,thats all, disappointing...
Another non-age statement whisky that is just like acid to my stomach. Struggled with every single dram of this. Loved the 1995 vintage which is a different beast altogether. If you have £30 to spend, there is so much better out there than this. Glenfiddich 12, Glenmorangie 10, Old Pulteney 12, Glenkinchie 12, Aberlour 10 and Dalwhinnie 15 all offer much better value and are much better drams. This should be £20 tops.
Had this as a Christmas gift found it very rough no better then a 3 year old supermarket grain whiskey improves slightly with a drop of water but not worth the money
