Simply amazing this The Glenrothes Vintage 1985 Single Speyside Malt Whisky, a nearly thirty year old who has reached a shocking maturity and whose only flaw is … that is getting scarce on the market …

Well i’ve found a flaw at The Glenrothes Vintage 1985 Single Speyside Malt Whisky , it’s rare and it is difficult to obtain it.

Luckily I had already purchased years ago and I finally decided to open it.

In these cases, I’m always fighting , I say it’s better to leave it close to increase the value , and in fact in a few years its price has more than doubled , but how can I do if  I do not taste this good?

The solution is easy you say, just buy two bottles of this The Glenrothes Vintage 1985 Single Speyside Malt Whisky , one to drink and one to keep aside to sell it when the value reaches the peak.

Yes, of course , but after discovering that it is so good , I would open another bottle that as well!

In the classic pack with the carton around and with its beautiful minimalist label , this The Glenrothes Vintage 1985 Single Speyside Malt Whisky is a golden color and bright but with the sign of the years that are gradually making it dark and veiled.

A delight for the nose, the smoke of the burning dormant comes from the nostrils brought a sweet smell of raisins , which turns into the peat on the finish , but it’s not clear if it is a mixture of peat or wood smoke and resin pine . However the latter is a secondary smell , those who feel the most are the first two and in particular the second .

I taste it adding a teaspoon of water to wake him up, I like to do so and in any case I have been recommended them by Whisky taster in Scotland and if they wish , I do .

Obviously I do not have the water of its source that would be ideal so I put in The Glenrothes Vintage 1985 Single Speyside Malt Whisky a natural mineral water as neutral as possible at room temperature .

The taste of this whiskey borders on the exact definition of smoothness, the beginnings of vanilla give way to caramel , then comes to the rescue wood to avoid too much sweets. The following shows the spice in the finish and a fresh citrus accompanies us to the long aftertaste where the sweetness comes back, even if quietly.

The bottle of The Glenrothes Vintage 1985 Single Speyside Malt Whisky has just begun , I know that one day will end and I will cry my heart.
