Long & lusciously sweet finish with lemon zest, white chocolate, vanilla & traces of ginger & nutmeg. Great to see French casks that actually complement a whisky

Limited stock. Vintages from the 1970's & 1980's are increasingly hard to come by. The Vintage 1988 is of that rare breed.

With about 30% from first fill American Sherry oak delivering butterscotch: Spice & dried fruits from 1st fill Spanish Sherry oak & the rest from refill casks giving the characteristic Glenrothes balance & complexity of flavour. Arguably it is preferable post-dinner when conversation is in full flow.

These flavours, & more, are all delivered on the palate culminating with a long, rich & satisfying, fruity spiciness. Appearance: Medium golden, clear & bright. Bouquet: Floral, citrus & butterscotch notes with a hint of spicy white pepper & cedar-wood syrup. Palate: Rich, sweet, soft fruit flavour, leading to a rich spiciness. Finish: Sugared citrus peel soft fruits, medium dry with abundant spices. ...
