Glenrothes 1985/1997 40% 70cl – Single Malt Speyside Vintage Whiskey

TheGlenrothes 1985/1997It's a rare gem among Speyside whiskies, exemplifying the Glenrothes distillery's distinctive approach: bottling by vintage rather than stated age. This Single Malt, matured for approximately 12 years in select ex-sherry Spanish oak casks, offers an aromatic complexity and roundness that are hard to match.

On the nose, it releases rich notes of raisins, dried fruit, caramel, and sweet spices. The palate is smooth, creamy, and fruity, with hints of almond, honey, and citrus, perfectly balanced by delicate spice and a light toasted note. The finish is long and refined, with hints of vanilla, malt, and a subtle herbaceous note.

This vintage edition is no longer in production and is sought after by connoisseurs and collectors alike. It's ideal for those seeking an authentic taste of Glenrothes vintage character or for those looking to invest in a historic label destined to appreciate in value over time.
