Vintage or just a classic? The Glenrothes know what great whisky is with the 1995 vintage.

Last year I was lucky enough to join the chaps from The Glenrothes for an evening in Speyside at the distillery house. It was a fantastic trip in which I came away with a bottle of the 1985 vintage and was just blown away with its depth of flavour and ease of drinking.
Glass sculpture at its best! Sarmiento Invasion Paranoia
So, last weekend I was both happy and sad when myself and glass blowing friend Jeff Sarmiento finished it while enjoying a curry (The Glenrothes 1985 whisky worked very well paired with a chicken Patia and rice). With the departure to the bottle to the recyling bin you can imagine I was naturally excited to recieve a sample of the 1995 vintage whisky, and was not dissapointed in the slightest!
Heres my tasting notes.
