Glenrothes 18yo 1991/2010 (43%, OB, L0270P L3): nose: my first impression is that it is not buttery! Glenrothes usually smells buttery to me, which is not to my taste, so this one spells good news. Orange rinds, nuts, orange oil, ground nutmeg, caramelised apricot compote. TC finds it gently salty. Shortbread and paint -- no! plasticine. Mouth: oily and coating, with orange and apricot juice, sprinkled with ground cardamom. Candle wax? Yup. Hint of liquorice? Ja. Finish: more of that oily orange and apricot, then marzipan and cinnamon. Milk chocolate appears, far in the back, banana yoghurt and butterscotch. Nice 'rothes, this! 8/10 (Thanks, TC)
