Whiskyfun by Serge

Glenrothes 1992/2004 (43%, OB) Colour: yellow gold. Nose: less fresh and playful, and more spirity. Caramel, oak, nuts, some sherry� Less complex than the older version. Gets flowery after a minute or two, and fruity as well (apple compote), but the whole is somewhat restrained. Some winey notes take control after a while. Mouth: quite a lot of sherry, but somewhat restrained. Much less complex and interesting than it�s older brother. Gets a little watery and fragmented, with some bitter orange on one side an some wood on the other side. Gets quite honeyed� Rather short finish, on honey and oak. Not bad, sure, but nothing special either. 80 points. (November 13, 2004)

Malt Advocate

The Glenrothes 1992 Vintage, 43% ABV,
A very fragrant, fruity whisky (orange, tangerine, plum, nectarine) with interwoven notes of honeyed malt, toasted oak, vanilla, and subtle anise. I love the creamy, mouth-coating texture of this whisky and its soothing finish. All the vintages of Glenrothes that have been released over the years are worthy of your hard-earned money, and this one is no exception. There�s not as much depth as some of the older, more mature expressions, but the lively youthfulness of this whisky makes up for it.

The Glenrothes 1992 vintage is characterized by a medium golden appearance that is clear and bright. With a soft and fruity bouquet highlighted with flavors of ripe black plums and licorice and a soft citrus palate with notes of orange zest and sherry oak, the 1992 vintage has a spicy finish with a medium length.

Tasting Notes Royal Miles

Nose: Raisins, sultanas, plums, bananas and malty honey tones. Although sherried, still quite fresh.

Taste: Very soft, slightly tannic and dry. Dried apricots and bubblegum.

Overall: Flavoursome but still fresh.
