Glenrothes The Exclusive Malts Single Cask #14 Whisky 20 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with a burnished copper glow and a honeyed gold core, edged in mahogany-ruby tones.

Nose

Rich, velvety nose of dried fruits—raisin, prune and fig—woven with dark cocoa, vanilla and toasted almond. Candied citrus zest brightens the profile, while polished oak and subtle spice add depth. A delicate sherry sweetness lingers, with hints of leather and a whisper of smoke.

Palate

Velvety, full-bodied and richly sherried, the palate delivers dark fruits—raisin, fig and orange zest—woven with cocoa, toasted almond and warm spice. A thread of leather and espresso adds depth, while the 54.5% ABV cushions a long, silky finish with persistent warmth.

Finish

Long, opulent finish that lingers with sherry-dark fruit—figs, raisins, and plum—woven with cocoa and orange zest. Hints of toasted oak and spice persist, delivering a warm, velvety closure that gradually tapers into a refined, lasting glow.
