Glenrothes The 25, 43%

Aromas of baked orange, raisin, ripe peach, beeswax, nougat, and fragrant spices make this an elegant glass to nose. It deals out caramelized sugar, vanilla extract, dark toffee baked orange, pepper, and clove, with a second phase of forest honey, sugared almonds, raisin bread, marzipan, and hints of creamy milk chocolate. More subtle and with less overt sherry dominance than the previous Glenrothes 25 year old release, this is still a polished and stylish expression.
