Glenrothes Speyside Single Malt Whisky 13 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

Rich, sunlit amber with copper-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent sherry perfume fills the glass, with candied orange peel and sun-warmed apricot mingling with ripe pear and honeyed vanilla. Rich dried-fruit aromas—raisin and fig—emerge alongside toasted oak, almond, and a whisper of cocoa. Spices—cinnamon and clove—curl through the scent, lending structure and elegance to a nose that is warm, decadent, and deeply inviting.

Palate

Silky, medium-full on the palate with a luxurious, slightly oily texture. Dried-fruit sweetness—fig, raisin, stewed apple—drives the opening, chased by creamy vanilla and honey. Sherry influence adds almond, walnut, and cocoa, with gentle spice of cinnamon and clove. A long, warming finish of oak and orange zest.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with sherried sweetness. Dried orange zest, fig and apricot unfold, followed by toasted almond, cocoa and spice. Oak-warmed warmth lingers into a creamy finale.
