Glenrothes Cooper's Choice - Single Cask #1365 Whisky 10 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with warm copper edges, a sunlit, honeyed hue deepened by the sherry cask.

Nose

Opulent and inviting, the nose opens with bright pear and green apple, honeyed citrus zest and vanilla-tinged oak. Sherry cask influence yields dark fruit notes—raisins, dried fig, a touch of plum—alongside toasted almond, cinnamon, and cocoa. A fragrant, velvety sweetness and warm spice linger, hinting at depth to come.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate carries a lush sherried sweetness—fig, raisin and orange zest mingling with rich toffee and vanilla. Nutty almond notes drift through atop cocoa-dusted oak, with hints of spice (clove, cinnamon) and a velvety backbone. The finish is long and warming, leaving a balanced, slightly savory note as the sweetness fades.

Finish

Delicate yet persistent, the finish unfurls with dried raisin and orange zest, lightly brushed by cocoa and vanilla. Velvet oak tannins guide a warm, lingering fade, with sherried fruit echoing into the final notes, leaving a refined, resinous warmth and a touch of spice that lingers gracefully.
