Glenrothes Sample Room Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-gold glow and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Rich dried fruits—raisin, fig and prune—rise with orange zest and toasted almond. A gentle spice layer of nutmeg and clove meets soft oak and vanilla, lending a velvety, chocolatey hint. The sherry influence casts a warm, fruit-forward Speyside aroma that is polished, inviting and finely balanced.

Palate

Silky, fruit-forward palate with fig, raisin and date, a hint of orange zest. Sherry sweetness weaves through, complemented by gentle spice and soft oak. Velvet mouthfeel, balanced sweetness and a warm, lingering finish of dried fruit and subtle spice.

Finish

Long, elegant finish of dried fruit sweetness—figs and raisins—carried by gentle spice and soft, velvety oak. The sherry influence lingers as a warm, refined echo, tapering to a silky, nutty fade that invites another sip.
