Nose: Sweet, a warm and floral nose. I get rose, honeysuckle, some raisins... pretty lovely. A hint of nuttiness there as well.
Palate: Oh, this is kinda different. I like it! It always excites me when I'm able to find a new profile that I haven't encountered yet. I appreciate what this has to offer. Although nothing amazing, I like that it's something new to me. Some hay, some citrus, raisins, followed by some more floral notes. A couple drops of water brought forward some more spices, like nutmeg. Not bad at all.
Finish: Ah, disapointing... this dram had a lovely little crescendo in the middle going for it, and I was hoping it would continue to grow to the finish. But, alas, that's not the case. It drops off, dissapears pretty quick. What you do get is some nuts, vanilla, and citrus, but it makes a run for the hills pretty quickly.
Definitely decent. A bit soft, but worth drinking.
Find where to buy Glenrothes whisky
I have found with Glenrothes Select Reserve that letting the glass take some air for about 20 to 30 minutes improves it.
