The Glenrothes 1998

Really pretty good; sweet but not cloyingly so. Good flavors with enough complexity to make it worthwhile. Smooth

Rich and sherry-fruity. Very smooth.

Thanks again Damon. This one is all about the desserts. Butterscotch pudding and cool whip, crunchy butterscotch cookies, spiced cakes; coffee cake, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Oh my... The richest of the Glenrothes sampler I've compared, the whole chorus singing out in harmony! Nose opens with intense golden honey, sweet sherry, apple-blossom and Anjou pear. Petrichor like bright crepuscular rays bursting down into an ancient forest after a thunderous summer squall. Added water also seems to reveal something earthy and dark in the background, maybe freshly ground coffee? Palate is immediate, baking spices and zesty ginger. Pear returns for the finish along with buttery malt and a touch of humming sherry... An impressive showing, I'll be searching for a fifth of this. Dry glass: No thank you, pour me another.
