Tasting Notes by RobertH

The nose is spicy with fruit overtones, a little brash for a 20 year old, but fairly complex with sweetness of vanilla and a touch of oak.

The pallet is creamy sweet that moves in to spice on the finish which lasts a while with a touch of orange rind. The sherry is rather pronounced in this expression but not over the top.

While I tend to like the 85 a little better as it has a bit more personality, this is a new and lovely expression from Glenrothes.
