Glenrothes Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 1974 29 year old

BN#142498 |
Yes, we've still got a bit of this left! We discovered this amazing liquid gold at the annual Scotch Malt Whiskey Society's "Extravaganza" tasting in October 2003, and a recent re-tasting has confirmed that this Scotch is truly a CLASSIC! The nose itself is guaranteed to hold you long before you raise the glass to your lips to drink. This 29 year old carries the usual Glenrothes clean elegance into the palate but gives much more depth and balance than you might be expecting. Luscious, deep, long and super clean in finish. Totally seducing, like sinking into a deep leather couch and having your hair stroked slowly by a loving hand. An incredible value as well and a perfect complement to a crackling fire and a good cigar. A highly reccomended staff favorite. Cheers!
Wine Enthusiast
Only 3,000 bottles allotted for the USA. Bouquet is comprised of deep, moderately smoky, and robust aromas of old oak, black pepper, road tar, maple, dark-roasted malt and brown sugar. Palate entry is sweet, honey-like and very dark caramel-like; at midpalate, the taste profile highlights caramel and honey and a velvety texture. Aftertaste features a peppery, cocoa-like and Sherry sweet taste. The finest malt whisky that Glenrothes has ever released. Buy two. 96-100
Score: 100.
