Description

Hidden in a tree-lined gorge, the Glenrothes distillery is nestled in the core of the Speyside region, a stone's throw from the Burn of Rothes and the Mannoch Hills. Producing malt whiskies using exact replicas of the original 1879 pot stills, the Glenrothes hallmark is to use Scottish barley, malted in traditional Saladin boxes.

Nose
Prominent and fresh oloroso with chocolate orange and macerated cherries sitting alongside fruit cake, chopped walnuts and dusty cinnamon. Time in the glass reveals deeper notes – amaretto biscuits, gingerbread men, caramel sauce and earthy asides of dunnage matured oak. Water reveals orange juice (with bits), together with bread and butter pudding – earthiness is amped up, whilst sherry spicing is reined in.
Palate
Plenty of body on the arrival which delivered a flavour-packed combination of dulce de leche, burnt honeycomb, flamed orange peels and stem ginger. The mid-palate heads caskwards with peppy spices – chilli, building pepper and residue cinnamon. In the back – melted chocolate buttons, spent coffee grounds and wood lacquer. Reduction expressed stewed orchard fruits and golden syrup alongside increased dry oakiness.
Finish
Medium to long with souring orange, liquorice, a touch of heat and lingering drying wood.
