Words of Whisky (90)

;

Nose: Very elegant. Floral and fruity with gentle malty notes and furniture polish. Fresh apples, pears and galia melon, but also soft notes of chalk and minerals. After a while notes of beeswax, conifer and honey appear, as well as gentle stone fruits.
Taste: A level of maturity you don’t see often anymore. Lots of fruitiness with peaches, clementines, stewed apples and ripe pears, as well as whispers of barley husks and beeswax in the background. Finally a sliver of white pepper, but also some menthol.
Finish: Pretty long and somewhat dry with just a touch of oak shavings, straw and mild tobacco notes.

Score: 90

Elegant almost to a fault. This Glenrothes from The Whisky Agency is full of little intricacies, has plenty of complexity and great balance. With just a little more oomph this would’ve rated higher no doubt.
