Limited stock. Vintages from the 1970's & 1980's are increasingly hard to come by. The Vintage 1988 is of that rare breed. Never before bottled the Vintage has benefited from more than two decades maturing in a combination of Spanish & American oak; previously seasoned with both sherry & whisky. The combination gives the citrus notes a delicious cooked orange flavour & plenty of fruit as well which are evident on the nose & the palate. Appearance: Copper gold, clear & bright. 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. ...
