Score 88/100 · Whisky Advocate, Mar 2012
The hue is deep amber and the nose is equally resonant and rich. This is Glenrothes in its most muscular guise, so that while you have the normal layers of fruity complexity, there is an extra weight. Think of citrus peels, sticky dates, walnuts, and fruit leather. The palate is soft and rolling with light tannin. For me, it’s at its best au naturel.

The Glenrothes has a long and turbulent history involving fires and many changes in ownership. Despite this, the classic Speyside whisky distillery has become a highly sought-after single malt Scotch and long been a key constituent in the ever-popular Cutty Sark blend.
