Scotch tasting, Glenrothes

Not bad. This is a Speyside whisky which in my
experience makes it a bit more approachable.

However, I thought that the initial taste had somewhat of a puckering kind of bitter/sour flavor.
The finish is relatively smooth and mellow. OK, but probably not going to be counted among my favorites.

Also, I've gotta say, the synthetic cork stopper was a little bit of a turnoff for me.

Glenrothes Select Reserve

The youngest sister of the Glenrothes Girls, Glenrothes Select Reserve, would seem to fit the sugar and spice and everything nice category. She has a light sweet body and palate with pepper overtures. Her lingering, fizzy finish, however, detracts from her personality. Her demeanor was improved by a drop of water.
