General description

This one is from my friend's old stock. It's hard to find out in shops now. Pretty typical for a modern Glenrothes with the fruitiness, the vanilla notes and the butterscotch. Despite it's not a very old matured stuff, it has a character and is not lightweight dram.
Overall, this is a very well balanced and appealing whisky.
N-21, P-20, F-20, B-23.
