- Description
- Distilled in 1988 and bottled from a single ex-sherry cask, this Speyside malt from Glenrothes presents a lightly peated profile with honeyed stewed fruits, candied ginger, and heather smoke. The palate develops layers of shortbread and sticky toffee, while the sherry influence adds depth and warmth. A richly textured dram with lingering sweetness and subtle smoke that rewards patient sipping from a nosing glass.
