Glenrothes Single Cask 39 Year Old, American Oak Cask, Cask #2682, 2015, 43.6%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

Coconut and tropical fruits suggest a sweeter, fruit-led nose, while cedar, dry spices, cinnamon and nutmeg give the palate a firmer counterweight. Vanilla sits alongside those more savoury and spicy notes rather than defining the whole picture. The lingering spice and oak carry that balance through the finish. I’m drawn to this kind of contrast: the sweeter elements have structure around them, making the character feel composed rather than simply fruit-forward.
