Glenrothes 1985 Highlands, Speyside
Whiskey-pages.com, `As with all expressions of The Glenrothes, the 1975 Vintage is released in keeping with the policy of bottling selected casks at their point of optimum maturity and maximum flavour. This approach allows for some fascinating variations from vintage to vintage, and the new 1975 bottling is very different from the 1994 reviewed here last month. The nose is nutty and fruity, in particular oranges, with herbal and vanilla notes. Rich and spicy on the palate, with more vanilla, grapefruit and hazelnuts. The finish is lengthy and medium sweet. Another distinguished offering from Malt Master John Ramsay and the rest of the Glenrothes team. There is an out turn of just 3,708 bottles of this vintage.`
