The Glenrothes, 1979 Vintage, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2003 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Amber color. Lush, rich aromas of rummy toffee, nuts, vanilla, with interwoven notes of glazed fruit. On the heavy side of medium in body, and silky. There are layers of sweetness on the palate (toffee, caramel, marzipan and dates), becoming nutty with a pleasing oak woodiness to balance the sweetness. Long, dryish finish with notes of spice and fruit.
