- Description
- Duncan Taylor's 2013 Glenrothes finished in small sherry octaves, intensifying wood influence in just 10 years and creating richness atypical for its youth. Dark berries and cocoa nibs dominate a palate lifted by bright spice and subtle oak tannin, while the higher strength (54.1%) ensures neither sweetness nor wood overshadows. A striking example of how cask finishing can accelerate complexity, best suited to those seeking bold flavour in a young expression.
