Malt Maniacs |
The Glenrothes
12yo (43%, 'OB' by Berry Bros & Rudd, Bottled +/- 1990) from
Serge provided a very interesting look into the past. This
bottling pre-dates the current 'bulky' OB's by quite a few years.
Nose: Mellow and malty against a serious backdrop of spices and
organics.
It smells 'antique' - the character of a malt that has been in a
bottle for many years.
That's very different from the 'oxidation' effect, mind you. Odd
fruits. Tea. Tobacco.
Taste: Nice, sweet and very chewy. Wonderful fruits in the
centre, then it dries out.
Slightly thin in the finish. A bit 'winey' as well, but not
disturbingly so. Then bitter.
Score: 82 points - this is quite interesting, but it
falls apart much to quickly. |
