Tasting Notes
"The 12 year-old is a more floral and delicate proposition than its 10 year-old cousin. Gorse bushes and roses lead to white chocolate and peanuts on the nose with an earthy undertone. It's lighter on the tongue though and morphs into a dessert whisky with peaches, meringue, and vanilla riding that delightful Glenrothes Tootsie Roll taste."
