- Description
- Glenrothes spends 12 years building its signature honeyed and orchard-fruit profile, then receives a decisive finishing period in Oloroso casks that adds layers of dark berry, roasted almond, and caramel without masking the distillery's inherent elegance. At 60.6% ABV, the spirit is full-bodied with silky texture and a sustained sweetness that lingers. A Speyside pour for those who appreciate sherry influence applied with restraint and expertise.
