Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1969 700ml
Colour: Slightly difficult to get a good gauge as we were given a fairly small dram (understandably!) but light orange - somewhat lighter than expected, even if it was from a refill Bourbon cask (it did spend 44 years in there don't forget)
Nose: Big coconut notes, vanilla, and lots of tropical fruits. Jelly babies, pineapple. I also got the slightest hint of smoke, but not peat.
Palate: Rich and mouthfilling. Plenty of pineapple from the nose, but coconut and vanilla too. It's not every day a dram transports you to a tropical island, but that's what this whisky did for me.
Finish: Long and lingering (in stark contrast to the other 1969 The Glenrothes we've tried). Spice, vanilla cream, and SPC tropical fruit tubs (ah, those take me back!)
Rating (on my very non-scientific scale): 92/100. Delicious, ******liquid history******.

a masterpiece/a classic
I think liquid history here means a masterpiece of whisky. The author tasted a similar whisky (Tasted #48: The Glenrothes (Duncan Taylor Lonach) 1969 40yo) http://www.timeforwhisky.com/2013/11/tasted-48-glenrothes-du... but this Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1969 700ml which he is talking about has a higher rating than the former one (http://www.timeforwhisky.com/2014/11/the-glenrothes-1969-ext...
This is the only whisky where he commented "delicious" and gave the highest rating comparing to other whiskies which he tasted.
