Glenrothes Chieftain's Single Cask #91821 Whisky 19 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with sunlit copper-gold glints, a warm sherry-hued glow that deepens to mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Richly lifted aromas of dried fig and date mingle with candied orange peel, roasted almond and vanilla. Sherried sweetness coats dark cherries and cocoa, while wisps of spice and polished oak lend a refined, nutty finish.

Palate

Silky and poised, this 19-year-old sherry-cask Glenrothes delivers rich sweetness: date, fig and raisin with orange zest and vanilla. Creamy toffee, toasted almond and gentle spice unfold on the palate, supported by a warm, oily mouthfeel. It finishes long and elegant, with cocoa notes and a touch of oak.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish coats the palate with velvety sherry sweetness—figs, raisins and orange zest—woven with cocoa and toasted oak. Gentle spice lingers, adding a refined peppery warmth that fades slowly into a plush, elegant glow.
