1994 Vintage bottled in 2010. Pale, glinty golden complexion. Aromas of slivered almonds baked with a pinch of cayenne, the marzipan continuing onto the palate along with bergamot, nougat, great big golden raisins and Werther's Original. A mellow, mature, and immediately likeable dram.
Nice and smooth with a somewhat floral mid palate, however beyond that there was not a lot going on. If you are looking for a smooth easy drinking whisky then this is a good choice but for my taste it was just a bit too mellow.
Aroma is clean and fruit. Taste is citrus, lemon, soft, light, clean. Finish is light, soft, and a taste of wine.
Might of posted a comment on another Rothes. But this is a nice one. Smooth. With some smoke. Heat at te finish
This scotch starts off very harsh, a tiny bit of water or just a few extra sips helps mellow it out.
Rich fruit smell, sweet and can sustained for a long time in the mouth with the flavor
