- Description
- Glenrothes' weighty new-make spirit has translated into this 36-year-old from The Whisky Agency as a concentrated study in fruit and time. Raspberry, fruit tea, and banana aromas give way to pineapple, pear drops, and vanilla on the palate—a testament to bourbon cask influence and extended maturation. The texture is supple despite its age, with sufficient body to warrant neat sipping or a dash of water. A contemplative dram for those interested in how Speyside ages over decades.
