Great stuff I picked some up last week. Soon as I saw it being higher abv 48.8 and N/C great mouth feel and a decent price point here. Cheers
Thanks for the timely review, guys! I had recently put this one on my wish list and it just got moved to the top! 😁🥃
Well then, we expect to hear your perceptions! :-) ~Mark
just picked this up and needed a review and you got the best..i picked it up for 65$ from what i taste, worth every penny. i like how you explore every aspect of it for the review.
Another solid review, guys. I've heard good things about this one. Cheers!
i've wondered how this bottling holds up. I've liked most of the Glenrothes i've had, especially the Kansas Single Cask!
That Kansas Single Cask was top shelf for sure! ~Mark
The store exclusives they do really shine. I have six different ones and they are incredible.
July 18, 2019 - Watching from Wick Scotland, heading to Orkney in the pouring rain. I hope I can catch a ferry. My luggage is almost full but I hope to add two more bottles.
There is always room for a couple more bottles.
- Shawn
Keen to try this one - and the whole new Soleo range!
I got a bottle of this stuff 2 weeks ago for 50 bucks at Total Wine in IN. I haven't had a chance to pop the cork in it but it sounds like it's worth 50. Going to try it soon.
Rise of the mid-ABV (47.5 % - 52.5% abv ~ 95-105 proof) and charge as Cask strength . . . sad, really. Great vid.
Great review, gents! Mark: "it's tasty!" thAts cue for me to find a bottle of this 'Rothes😁 cheers brothers
I try not to steer you wrong!! ~Mark
Scotch 4 Dummies Cheers brother!
Thanks for some Glenrothes love. I was a big fan of their vintages line, but I do like the soleo range. The distiller is Gordon Motion, who took over from Jack Ramsay. While this bottle is NAS, word on the street is that it’s a 15 year which explains the price point.
Thanks for the info sharing! That's what we're all about. This one is pretty darn good. We've had our ups and downs with GR over the last few years and have found we either really like a bottle or don't much care for it.....hoping to see that trend up and steady! ~Mark
I think most people have the same sentiment. The bottles are a huge hit or a massive miss. I confess to missing the vintages concept b/c it was different and somewhat cool to get an entirely new vintage every few years. They also had a core line of reserves (sherry, bourbon, and peated) that I liked. This new line is pretty pedestrian for the most part. Hoping for some more bottles like this one, with some nice abv and perhaps some interesting finishes
So Shawn, does 'its got a lot going on in the glass '🍸 mean complex, spicy? You guys absolutely Rock when it comes to reviews ❤ I'm a big fan! Cheers from Indy--
After 3 weeks my bottle has opened up nicely and @ $60 here locally its a must buy!
Abelour A’bunadh is NAS also and much higher than $80...higher abv too, of course, but this one sounds interesting...especially if I can find it for less than $80.
We may have to compare the 2 side by side.... ~Mark
Might have to pick this up if i see it for a good price. i like the 12 n 18. Scotland 2020
You'd like this one! ~Mark
$65 here.. excited to try this bottle
A three? I thought with all the refills it would go higher. Great review and congrats on 1,000,000!
I thought it was good... :-) ~Mark
Perhaps it would be better to compare to its similar competition, Abelour Abundh, Tamdhu Batch Strength. and the Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso, Glenfarclas 105, and even the Redbreast Lustau. Seems they are in the same ball park for price. How would it fair compared to those?
Are you suggesting another comparison video Everwind? LOL ~Mark
@@Scotch4Dummies Well that would be fun, I think it is important when reviewing anything to compare other products at a similar price point/place in the market. It is not fair to compare a Toyota Prius to a Ferrari, but it fair to compare against a Leaf, a Volt, etc. Price on itself is hard to do, because of market forces (taxes, rarity, demand, and location. ) VA prices are always higher for the same scotches you pay in Indiana.
Just as this review hit You Tube, Amazon Prime event dropped the price 👍. Picked it up cheap and arrived today....
Let us know your thoughts when you open it.
-Shawn
@@Scotch4Dummies loving it, even if it is just opened and neck pour. Brilliant nose, taste, oak, orange peel, balanced sherry. Vanilla.. . For the price paid £40 (~$50US), great value. Only Glenrothes tried (never really been drawn to other stuff), but at 48.8% NC, impressed.
Heard great things. Tried the 18 and it was just ok for me. This is supposed to be better.
It's good Rob!! ~Mark
It is better than the 18. Some think it better than the 25
Have you guys tried the 18 or 25 yet ??
The not so secret rumor says this batch is around 16yo but they didn't state that because next batch may be different. Opened mine recently and it is impressive for the price/abv/perceived age. Problem is this is $72 and I can get Glendronach 15yo and Tamdhu Batch Strength for $85...hmm.
Damn it man.....those options are tough! 1st world problems, LOL! ~Mark
After a month @ 3/4 full this has opened up exponentially. I will be getting a backup or two in case future batches change.
I picked up a bottle, last week @TW&M for $63.00 on an impulse.
That's a GREAT price! ~Mark
Please put the abv of the juice you are drinking, on the video description also, thanks...
Duly noted! Thanks for the suggestion. ~Mark
I am not sure what is happening with their branding? They look more and more like Springbank and look like they are trying to stand out but they seem to blend in with the crowd. My first enjoyable whisky was Glenrothes Select Reserve but it isn't a whisky I tend to delve into although their new range does seem to be a little inviting especially with the age range now. Cheers guys :)
They rebranded and eliminated the reserve and vintages line once Edrington bought them
@@neilstucky6265 Ah really, I liked the select reserve too. My missus poured me one the other night and I couldn't tell what it was but all I could think about was how good it tasted and it made me nostalgic. Should have guessed it was that one. Cheers Neil
I enjoyed select reserve too, but many moons ago. I really liked the vintage reserve, which is now also gone. I discovered the line because they used vintages rather than age statements, and to be honest, I miss that concept a lot, and I hope they will come back to it. The new soleo range is hit or miss for me. I like this particular one a lot tho
@@neilstucky6265 I will need to try their new range and see what it has to offer :)
Great conversation Gents! ~Mark
Gordon Motion is his name. He is also the master distiller at Highland Park.
Say what? He is the MD for both huh? I need to dig into this guy and do some background homework!! ~Mark
Damn @ROB G.....it's $90 at my TW&M. Worth it at that price?
I would try it at a bar first. It’s a decent dram but $90 range has some really good stuff.

Whew, need to get my liver ready! ;-) ~Mark
@@Scotch4Dummies Get it ready got a package incoming to Indiana lol
So Drew, you gave this 75 buck bottle a 2.5 because it is NAS and expensive. But you gave Mac Edition 5 a 3.5 for being NAS and 135 bucks. Does your rating make any sense to you? I guess the MAcallan brand carris an extra few points with it. I am not even a Glenrothes fan and I thought this was better than edition 5. To me this is the only glenrothes even worth buying. The others are just meh. I agree with the others guys, this one is a great bottle and not much in it's price range can match it. Maybe that's how you should look at things. At 75 bucks what could you have gotten that is as good? Not much.
$59.99 at Costco 😉
My Costco never carries any of the rothes
Costco is very local based....We've heard the ones in Hawaii carry Lagavulin 16 for under $60....but our local doesn't even carry it..... it's almost painful when you hear that another Costco not only carries it, but at a killer price! :-( ~Mark
I don’t have much luck at Costco, but I have loads of ex-friends who do lol
You dinged it because you added water and didn't like it as much? After going on at length about how the master distiller picked 48.8 specifically? SMH.
0:00 the glen-row-thes? what a tool. Sums up your whisky knowledge
Ah, the whisky-snob has arrived. I bet you're fun at parties.
@@larsberculo705 that's nice, now where am I wrong?
