Hey, I'm not a whisky connoisseur and to be honest prefer more 'easy drinking' numbers like these:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strathisla-Year-Single-Scotch-Whisky/dp/B00B7MNB2Ohttps://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Woodsman-Whisky-70-cl/dp/B07FMX2W4RBut this still tastes decent, you just have to drink it more slowly.. which many would consider a good thing.It's quite rich and has a lasting after-warmth. A colleague thinks it compares with Seagrams Canadian whisky.The description mentions bananas which I don't exactly detect but there is a caramelly aspect to it.The bottle is annoyingly fat and the mouth is thick making for clumsy pouring.This is a pain and contributes to the lost star.

This Speyside whisky has a pure, clean taste, without any peatiness or smoky flavour, so if you are mainly a drinker of blended whisky, this is a good way to try a single malt while avoiding any shocks to the palate. Try it neat -- it is really smooth and sippable -- and I think ice is not a good idea. The effect is slightly sweeter than most whiskies, and this would be a lovely after-dinner drink. It instantly makes you feel you are drinking something luxurious.I experimented with added water, and found that the half-and-half that I use for ordinary cooking whisky diluted the flavour too much. Glenrothes to water 2:1 was much better,

This is an easily approachable whisky with quite subtle flavours. If you’re a fan of Speyside whiskeys I expect you will find this to your liking. Unsurprisingly it shows on Amazon as frequently bought alongside the 12 year old Strathisla, which, if I recall, shares some strong similarities.After a smooth start I find it ends with a slight touch of harshness. It gives the desire to try the 18 year old on the same line, which I suspect would be even more to my taste.The only downside to this whisky is the box, which is not made to travel. The heavy bottle is held in place by a weak ring of cardboard around the top of the neck, a David and Goliath combat that is quickly lost during shipping.

On opening the bottle and taking a deep sniff, the aroma is light and fresh with vanilla being dominant on the nose. In the glass, the vanilla stills dominates but is joined by almost tropical fruit aromas. We vacillated between banana and mango, the packaging agrees with the first assessment but gives melon rather than mango. On the palate, the flavour is undeniably smooth; without a hint of harsher tannin or resin tastes but continues with the vanilla and adds warm spice to the mix. It isn't until it's on the way down that there is a hint of harshness and then it's more on the back of the tongue.This is an excellent whisky to have neat, as it is so smooth. I generally don't water mine down,

I'm not a big fan of peated/smokey whiskeys so I've always likes highland and speyside whiskeys. This Glenrothes is a lovely example of a sweet speyside, there is no hint of smoke and it goes down an absolute treat. Whilst this whiskey is sweet, it is not as sweet as the Special Reserve Sherry Cask Glenrothes however the taste profile is similar.I don't have the greatest palate but from my tastings you get vanilla (there is a lot of vanilla in the nose and the taste) you get some dried fruit and hint of spice (cinnamon) coming through. It will take a block of ice, or a splash of water if you need that in you whiskey or wish to release some of the keytones,

A really lovely Speyside. Not remotely smokey or peaty – the dominant note for me is a big hit of vanilla and caramel (though caramel is not mentioned on the tasting notes strangely) and you can really taste the hint of sherry from the oak cask. It is satisfyingly sweet without being cloying and is smooth enough to drink neat but opens up nicely with a drop of water.I’m increasingly turning to sweeter whiskies (and developing more of an appreciation for bourbons lately) and this dram works whatever mood I’m in. Maybe a bit dearer than some but it is more a whisky to sip and savour. It comes attractively packaged and in an appealing bottle too (so would make a great gift also).Recommended.

This is a top notch single malt. I would put it alongside any other specialty Speysides put out by better known distilleries. The tasting notes suggested flavours of melon, vanilla and cinnamon. I usually find these observations fairly spurious but to my surprise, melon was the first undertone I picked up, and in a very pleasant way! Over time I did detect a hint of cinnamon as well. I have yet to really find a vanilla flavour but I'm willing to continue searching...I would suggest that the box design could use a littlecwork. While it does present the bottle in an attractive way, it nearly fell out when I tipped the box forward!

I really like this whisky. I sat down to have a little drink and half the bottle seems to have vanished. That's how good it is.Like a witty, but undemanding friend this is an easy whisky to get on with - there's a lot of sophistication and detail in it, but it is also well balanced and undemanding and so it can vanish down your gullet at a startling rate if you aren't paying attention. It's warm on the nose, has a lot of flavour on the tongue, and leaves a delightful aftertaste. And despite having drunk far too much I was still half functional the morning after, which is going some.I'm saving the rest for a special occasion.

A little lighter than some other Speyside malts I've tried, but a nice whisky all the same. Amber coloured and has an initial aroma of very ripe bananas and brown sugar. This carries over the taste which also a little citrus bite to it. It's a nice light and lively whisky, rather than rich Christmas cake aroma and taste I would normally associate with some Speyside malts. Overall, no real criticisms of the drink, but the bottles' bulbous shape is unwieldy and half the cork fell off the stopper after a couple of uses – but I can't really blame anyone for that.

My husband tried this as I am not a whisky drinker. He loves his whisky!This is a smooth, rounded flavour filled aged single malt. It smells rich and tastes good. There is no bitterness or dry taste to this. It needs no mixer! It is clearly aged and has notes of vanilla when you drink it. Delicious!

A lovely deep golden colour in the glass, On the nose there is caramel and butterscotch with a hint of sweet vanilla and smoke. On the palate the smokiness and vanilla comes to the fore with a sweet peaty finish. Best drunk with a splash of water to release vanilla and butterscotch flavours.

A smooth, easy drinking scotch. One of my faves which I will always have in my collection at the right price. If you can get this at £33ish or under, do it.
