The Glenrothes Sherry Cask Reserve
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed
April 5, 2018
Nose - Mix of dried & fresh stone fruits, caramel, strawberry jam.
Taste - Fairly thin mouthfeel, strawberry jelly, hint of milk chocolate, caramel, raisin, orange zest.
Finish - Light cinnamon heat, watered down strawberry jelly, light caramel.
Score - 72/100
Final Thoughts - Mixed feelings about this, nose seemed pretty plain, didn't have that dark musty stone fruit odor of an older aged sherried Scotch but had more vibrant & fresh aromas. Seemed fairly thin, mostly on the sweet side. Not much different on the palate except it seemed a bit more muted than the nose and then very quickly disappears on the finish. Nothing really offensive about this one, but it's just a little boring for a sherry finish. Not great, not bad, but not memorable.
