Glenrothes Cooper's Choice - Single Cask #15715 Whisky 16 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with warm copper-gold highlights and a honeyed glow.

Nose

Silky orchard fruits—pear and apple—rise with honeyed vanilla, framed by polished oak. A refined sherry depth brings dried plum, raisin, cocoa, and gentle spice, finishing with almond and toffee.

Palate

Silky and curvaceous on the palate, this Glenrothes single cask unfurls orchard fruit with a restrained sherry backbone. Raisin, fig and plum mingle with toffee, cocoa and toasted almond, carried by warm spice and subtle oak; the creamy mid-palate leads to a long, elegant finish of dried fruit and refined wood spice.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with red-fruit and honeyed sweetness giving way to rich sherried depth. Dried plum, raisin and orange zest mingle with cocoa, vanilla and gently drying oak; spice lingers—cinnamon and nutmeg—leaving a silky, resinous warmth that fades to subtle leather.
