Glenrothes 11 Year Discovery (Gordon & MacPhail)

Subtle smell, faintly peaty on the tongue.

Sherry & raisins on the nose. Sweet sherry oak in the taste with a short but stronger finish

Nose: very prominent sherry influence, with plenty of baked apple, ripe apricot, and orange notes. Palate: the ripe fruit notes from the sherry show plenty of flavour with orange, abricot, and plum, followed by a brief peper spice. Overall, very surprising for a speyside. But in a good way.
