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

Bouquet: Rich, spicy: ripe, dark, berry fruits. Palate: Rich, full flavour: candied orange peel, fruit compote. Finish: Very long, medium sweet. ...

Limited stock. The Vintage 1995 was the first ever Vintage specifically laid in cask with the intention of, when mature, bottling as The Glenrothes. 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. ...

Glenrothes - 1998 Bottled 2014 70cl Bottle

Limited stock. The Vintage 1998 is the next Core Vintage to follow the Vintage 1991 and 1994. It is the first of the vintages that we have bottled that was expressly laid down at origin to be bottled as Glenrothes on maturity and as such has a greater availability of stock than any of the previous bottlings. This is also Gordon Motion's first bottling as Malt Master and he describes it as: It's said that pictures speak a thousand words and this is like Carmen Miranda's hat in a bottle. Tropical fruits lead with pineapple and mango developing into sweet bananas, coconut and classic Glenrothes vanilla pods. Appearance: Medium golden, clear and bright. Bouquet: Rich, spicy vanilla, golden syrup and lemongrass. Palate: Soft, mature, sweet vanilla with a hint of cinnamon. Finish: Smooth,
long, rich vanilla.
