The Glenrothes Select Reserve Single Malt. Speyside, Scotland. ABV: 43.00%. Tasted at home, $0 – won as a prize at the Dram Full Perth whisky treasure hunt.
Colour: Bright gold.
Nose: Hot buttered toast with cinnamon.
Palate: Honey, vanilla, mixed spice. Lots of oak.
Finish: Plenty of warmth, it really fills your mouth. Sweet vanilla notes in the fade.
Comments: Tasted this one after having some Chewy Mooey beef jerky – seriously amazing jerky, from a small up-and-coming local Perth company too. The chilli and saltiness from the jerky was perfectly counterbalanced by the whisky; both are full flavoured and full of spice, but the sweetness and oaky vanilla from the Glenrothes Select Reserve just goes really well. Good drop, great jerky too!
