Description

The 1989 Glenrothes wasn't bottled in 2002. Those thirteen years of maturation provided a wining palate, with cooked apple and oak notes, and plenty of layered sugars. The finish, meanwhile, is long and fresh, with just a touch of pine.

The Glenrothes motto is "maturity not age" and therefore they put vintages on their whiskies rather than age statements. [cite: Just Whisky Auctions description]
