Glenrothes Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery highlights and a warm, honeyed glow, edged by a subtle mahogany tint.

Nose

An inviting nose of ripe orchard fruit and honeyed sweetness, balanced by a refined sherry lift. Dried apricot and raisin mingle with orange zest, toffee and vanilla, while toasted almond threads through with a touch of spice. Warm, glossy aromas hint at depth and elegance beneath the surface.

Palate

A silky, fruit-forward palate with orange zest, dried apricot and golden sultanas, brightened by vanilla and honey. Sherried richness brings cocoa nibs and warm red spices—nutmeg and clove—over polished oak. Balanced sweetness lingers into a refined, lingering finish with a subtle citrus spark.

Finish

Long, refined finish with sherried warmth that lingers. Dried orange and raisin unfold into caramelized oak, toasted almond and spice, leaving a silky sweetness on the palate. A final thread of cocoa and espresso fades slowly, echoing the spirit’s elegant maturity.
