A light, balanced whisky good as an apéritif. #glenrothes #speyside #whisky #oldlinescotchclub #delectableapp — 9 years ago
Greatest single grain I’ve personally sampled. Rich texture, glowing nose of complex citrus, brown sugar, bay and rosemary, lemon peel, and sweet tobacco. Unctuous mouthfeel over-delivers the purest scotch imaginable. Smooth with heat returning spasmically. Sherry in full effect, and depth of whiskey paramount. — 6 years ago

Macallan dominant Speyside blend with a wee bit of Glenrothes (and the sherry butt sourness). — 9 years ago
Glenrothes used to have a relatively unique labeling convention. They would mark the distillation date (vintage date). They did away with all that and adopted a more traditional age statement for their bottles. This was a crazy dark color after seeing 18 years in ex-sherry casks. Delicious honey, nuts, and dried fruits. Smooth. A pleasant “oiliness” though not to the extreme that the Craigellachie has. Long finish. Rich and delicious. Definitely worth seeking out. — 6 years ago
Orange peel infused caramel, cinnamon apple, crumbly cedar, and a russet earthiness aromatically. Warm flash on entry, exhibiting golden apple drizzled with caramel, strong tobacco, pepper, a briny pineapple touch and a spruce nettle finish. Instantly put peach skin into my mind, but perhaps texturally more than flavor-wise, ginger and cedar spine, tinted with gunpowder tea. #scotch #glengrant #speyside #scotland #firsteditions — 8 years ago

Whoa! I’m liking this one. Power right off the bat. Enough make me go whoa I wasn’t expecting that. Rich toffee flavor profile so the name is what you get. It’s rich in flavor, some heat for sure and a full mouth grab you by the collar on the palate. I’m going to have to look for this but am afraid I’m too late. Finish goes for minutes. — 12 days ago
