The Glenrothes Peated Cask Reserve

Before tasting this one, i said this phrase "i haven't had a bad Glenrothes to this date". Well... i jinxed it. Glenrothes Peated Cask Reserve is a expression from this very good distillery, which explores certain peatiness. I was really interested in this one, i kept it in my bar for a long time, and i have now tried it. Here are my thoughts about it: Bottled at 40%abv, pale straw color. On the nose, mostly tropical. As soon as you uncork it, you get this remedy note, white wine. Sawdust, old pears and pineapple. Hay. After a sip, it released pineapple from a pizza, the hated, burnt one. Green apples. In the palate, it is way too watery. Sawdust water, a dim vanilla and slight pepper. Very thin and dim. Aftertaste is the best part, but nowhere near of something memorable. A burnt log, pepper, slight sulphuric and salt. New wood, and a piece of grassy meat that has been barbecued. Overall, this whisky is in debt. It destroyed the whole picture i had about this distillery; the palate is NOTHING. The nose is very forgettable. Aftertaste saves the day a little but it doesn't manage to get a good a score. 68 over 100. Move along.

Nose has a muted smokiness, hickory, some brine. Palate is spicy, has some light peat and smoke. Finish has some spice, medium finish. A bit leathery.

Nose: pear, pepper, earth Taste: Smokey, Clive, burnt rubber, pear

Zeer light

Nose: A nice fruitiness and toffee come to mind as soon as you smell it. Some honey develops as you let it open more. Palate: Sweet wood smoke is balanced by notes of gingerbread and Mexican dark chocolate. Finish: a lot of toasted nuts and the bitterness of the dark chocolate combined with orange peel.

Decent taste but not too peaty
