Another fantastic whisky from The Glenrothes. This is the second NOS whisky I’ve tried from them. Although it’s pretty darn good, I have to admit it’s not as good as the Select Reserve.



The reason it doesn’t have an age statement, I suspect, is due to the fact that it is actually a blend of different vintages. Their website states:

The combination of different Vintages aged in a variety of casks creates a balance of mature experience and vibrant youth. The oldest constituent brings mellow oak and dried fruits; the greatest proportion adds soft, mature, sweet vanilla; the more youthful add exuberance and lemon citrus, creating a sharp and uplifting taste.

They say there’s a “mid to long citrus” on the finish. That may account for the slight bitterness it has. A little bit of a turn off, but overall not bad. Both bottlings are $50. If I had to choose again, I’d go with the Select Reserve. That stuff is fantastic.
