Description

Indulge in the Glenrothes 1997-2024, a 26-year-old Speyside single malt from Signatory Vintage's esteemed Symington's Choice range. Handpicked by Andrew Symington, this single cask whisky was distilled in 1997 and matured for 26 years in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt (cask 9812). Bottled in 2024 at a natural cask strength of 52.4% ABV, it is unchill-filtered and naturally coloured. With only 612 bottles available, this dram promises a deep, rich flavour that only decades of careful aging can deliver, making it a true connoisseur's choice and a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Nose
Rich and complex, with layers of dried fruits (sultanas, figs, dates), dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, intertwined with a deep sherry influence. Hints of leather, tobacco, and a touch of cinnamon spice add further depth.
Palate
Luxuriously smooth and full-bodied, delivering a symphony of flavours—figs, raisins, sultanas, treacle, espresso, and roasted nuts. Layers of spiced orange, blackcurrant, and clove emerge, underscored by a gentle smokiness and a hint of oak. The natural cask strength of 52.4% ABV gives it a powerful yet balanced presence.
Finish
Long, warm, and elegantly spiced, leaving behind notes of spiced oak, dark chocolate, and a lingering sweetness and dried fruit.
