Omschrijving:
Glenrothes 17 yo 1985/2003 (50%, Douglas Laing OMC, sherry, 681 bottles) Colour: amber. Nose: a very sherried start, with lots of chocolate and Smyrna raisins. Quite some sulphur too. Goes on with some meaty notes (steak, gravy). It’s a bit simple in fact, with a big, bold sherry but it’s still flawless. Mouth: ah, even nicer! It’s not often that the palate is better than the nose with these sherry monsters. The sherry doesn’t dominate the spirit at all, in fact, and the whole is nicely balanced. Granted, there’s a lot of chocolate and praline, but it keeps elegant. Gets very dry after a moment, though, and the finish is long, quite drying (but not too much) and rummy at the same time. I like it very much, I must say. 87 points (www.whiskyfun.com).
