Glenrothes Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask #19602410 Whisky 16 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Bright honey-gold with warm amber and coppery undertones, a sunlit, sherry-tinted glow.

Nose

Sherry-driven richness with ripe malt at the core. Notes of dried orange peel, figs and raisins unfold into toffee, honey and vanilla. Toasted almond, cocoa and a touch of cinnamon weave through cedar oak, while a hint of nutmeg brightens the fruit and adds lifted spice. Warm, opulent and inviting, with a lingering refined sweetness.

Palate

Silky and full on the palate, this Glenrothes unfurls ripe orchard fruits mingled with sun-dried raisin and fig. Notes of toffee, orange zest and almond add gilded sweetness and depth, carried by a waxy creaminess. Subtle spice and refined oak frame the richness, then linger in a long, warming finish with dried fruit and old wood elegance.

Finish

Long, opulent finish of dark fig and orange zest, with cocoa and a whisper of spice weaving through velvet oak. The sweetness lingers like warm toffee, slowly fading to a refined, nutty note that invites another sip.
