- Description
- Glenrothes matured for 12 years before being independently bottled by Duncan Taylor, with an ex-Cognac cask finish adding layers of orchard fruit and elegant oak influence to the distillery's toffee-sweet malt base. The texture is soft and supple, allowing both the original spirit character and secondary cask influence to shine equally. A sophisticated Speyside expression that bridges classic distillery character with European wine influences, perfect for contemplative tasting.
