- Description
- Glenrothes' 12-year-old from Signatory's Small Batch Edition #2 draws from carefully selected oloroso sherry and bourbon casks to deliver rich, layered depth. Distilled in 2011 and bottled at natural colour and strength, this whisky balances sherry's dark fruit and toffee character with vanilla and oak spice from the bourbon influence. The texture is full-bodied and warming, with a long finish of dried fruit and warming oak tannins. A sophisticated expression suited to those who appreciate sherry's influence without overwhelming peat or smoke.
