The Glenrothes 1985 2nd Edition
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed
September 3, 2023 (edited September 4, 2023)
Nose - Sweet nuts, golden raisins, sweet fresh pressed apple juice, Marcona almonds, sweet tropical fruits
Taste - Creamy ginger heat/tingle, tropical fruits gummies, pineapple, golden raisins, rich fruity apple juice with a coconut milk creaminess
Finish - Tropical fruits, pineapples, cooked bananas, that slight tang at the back end of eating longan, golden raisins
Score - 93/100
Final Thoughts - The nose on this one is just absolutely phenomenal. Tropical fruit bomb for being a lower 43% abv, but carries so much flavor and balance. It feels like a tropical gummy sweetness with a nice rich balanced creamy coconut milk mouthfeel without the strong coconut milk flavor. Hard to describe, but this is something that I feel as if I could sip on all day and get different notes each time.
