Tasting Notes

Colour

Burnished gold with warm amber depth and a subtle coppery glow.

Nose

Delicate peat undertones drift over a honeyed, malt-forward bouquet. Orchard fruit—apple and pear—meets toffee, vanilla and softly sherried oak, with a subtle spice and hints of dried fruit.

Palate

Refined, velvety on the palate, it carries delicate peaty undertones that marry orchard fruit and honey with subtle oak; a whisper of sherry sweetness and spice lingers, finishing polished and long.

Finish

Long and refined, the finish carries delicate peaty undertones that linger softly. A warm, sherried sweetness coats the palate, fading to gentle oak, dried fruit and a whisper of spice, leaving a silky, persistent memory of Glenrothes elegance.

Glenrothes
(Glen-ROTH-ess) The Glenrothes is one of Speyside’s classic distilleries, with a history stretching back to 1879. Built in the town of Rothes, it was founded with the aim of producing a lighter, more elegant style of malt, and that bright, fruity character still sits at the heart of the whisky today.
