This Single Malt from the heart of Speyside is easy accessible, not very complex and comes without an age statement (NAS). The nose is characterized by toffee/caramel notes, citrus fruits and engaging hints of baked plums. However, the occasional spiritiness and rather intense brown sugar sweetness might be off-putting to some. On the palate, Glenrothes Select Reserve is mildly spicy and sweet, emphasizing on honey, vanilla cream and ripe fruits. The finish is short, clean and slightly dry. An average everyday dram that is comparable to better Blended Scotches.

This malt is a shocking revelation when you realize how much distillery as well as Speyside character it offers at a reasonable price.
The nose is floral, malty, with signature lemon zest, vanilla and a light "sapwood" oakiness. The palate is big, malty, round, and structured by spicy oak tannins and toasted oak. A light "piment d'espelette" spiciness is present, but brilliantly balanced.
Whereas this is nothing like the vintage bottlings from the early 90's, it strikingly illustrates a parallel development to Macallan's age-statement bottlings. At a third of the price, this delivers more intensity of similar characters found in modern bottlings of Macallan's 12Y or 15Y Fine Oak bottlings.
