- Description
- Glenrothes' 1990 distillate matured in a single sherry hogshead and bottled in June 2013 by Hunter Laing as part of their inaugural Old & Rare Platinum series, with 246 bottles released. The sherry maturation deepens Glenrothes' naturally fruity, citrus-forward profile with layers of dried fruit, warm spice, and polished oak. Hunter Laing's selection reflects the exceptional quality this Speyside distillery can achieve given proper cask and aging. A refined expression combining Glenrothes' inherent elegance with the richness that 23 years and quality sherry brings.
