I'm on a trip heading to Columbia SC to visit family, and I've been salivating over a bottle of Glen Rothes 1991 for about two weeks that I'm bringing to share with my Dad.

slotperfect 7 #3 June 14, 2009 I shared a 1985 bottle of Glenrothes at work the evening before my retirement last fall. I bought it while traveling abroad years ago and saved it for the occasion. It is very nice.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rookie120 0 #4 June 14, 2009 The Glenrothe is a great bottle. I would have to say it is probably the best I have ever sipped on. Enjoy! Don't forget the cigar to with it! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #5 June 14, 2009 Vskydiver picks me up a bottle of Glenlivet 12 y.o. from time to time. I love a good single malt, but I can handle a blend on a weekday night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The price of that bottle is great also. Try the 15, I think you will be surprised what 3 years will do.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

JohnMitchell 14 #11 June 14, 2009 Ice in scotch is like too cold of an ale. It numbs the tongue and hides the more subtle flavors. A splash of water can help bring out some of the special goodness. Rubbing ice on the face while you drink is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidB 0 #12 June 14, 2009 QuoteQuoteTurn in your credentials. What for? the ice or just a splash of water brings all those good flavors out. Sometimes. It's really all about taste. I've found that I personally want my single malt neat if it's from the mid or highlands. They tend to be lighter & fruitier. Now, throw me a smokey, peaty tasting, lowlands single malt & yes please, water on the side. I have a friend I went to high school with who's been a bartender in DC since the early 70's & is a single malt aficionado (I won't go so far as to call him a "fanatic" but he KNOWS his single malts). Last time I was down there we were sipping on his bottle of 50 year old. Wish I could remember it's name. Better than ANY scotch I've tasted before, & I've tasted many.When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel I get some more flavor, or should I say I can seperate the flavors by lettin a couple cubes melt in the glass for a few minutes.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I think the best in my opinion was the Glenrothes 1972. That bottle blew my socks off with the great flavor, richness and all around enjoyment.
