Description
This early-1980s bottling of the 12-year-old represents Glenrothes at its sherried best, when the distillery's house style favoured elegant fruit over wood dominance. Dried fruit, spice, and vanilla create a balanced profile typical of quality Speyside from that era. The texture is silky and approachable at 43%, rewarding both casual sipping and close examination. A nostalgic piece for enthusiasts of vintage Speyside character.
