The Glenrothes traditionally bottle single malts from specific vintages, so this no-age-statement example raised a few eyebrows when it first appeared. However, the only thing recent batches have raised is the bar - this is tremendous easy-drinking Speyside.
If you're looking to understand the house style of Glenrothes' superb Speyside single malt, get your hands on a bottle of the Glenrothes Select Reserve. Packed to the rafters with honey, caramel, dried fruit and baking spices, this one shows off exactly what we love about the distillery's malts.
Nose: Orange peel, stem ginger, hot jam and barley malt. Simple and inviting.
Palate: Malty and sweet palate with gingerbread, manuka honey, custard and potpourri.
Finish: A long, spiced finish with lattes and chocolate.
The Glenrothes is a single malt Scotch whisky, produced at the Glenrothes Distillery, beside the Burn of Rothes in the Speyside region. The Glenrothes is used in blended scotch whiskies such as Cutty Sark and The Famous Grouse.
