Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
ah, this is much more complex. Very smoky again but also very ‘stony’ and medicinal. Wet stone, ashes, bandages… Notes of smoked ham, cow stable, seaweed… Hints of gentian roots and liquorice. Rather beautiful! Quite some camphor developing after a few minutes. Certainly a bang-for-your-buck Islayer, according to this beautiful nose
restaurant Palate
oh, lots of gentian spirit (which I always love), peat smoke, smoked tea… Rather creamy and really full-bodied at 40%. Nice notes of apple pie, fresh green pepper, salted liquorice… The finish is long, smoky, waxy earthy… A very nice surprise, as far as I’m concerned. 86 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - Some poor souls suggested I select many female singers because they are pretty. That's completely untrue! Take for instance Katie Melua singing a jazzy Shy boy.mp3 . Isn't her music just nice? Anyway, please buy Katie Melua's music. November 23, 2005 TASTING - TWO INDIE AND TWO OFFICIAL GLENROTHES Glenrothes 1972/2004 (43%, OB)
