The Vintage 1995 was the first ever Vintage specifically laid in cask with the intention of, when mature, bottling as The Glenrothes.With about 30% from first fill American Sherry oak delivering butterscotch: Spice and dried fruits from 1st fill Spanish Sherry oak and the rest from refill casks giving the characteristic Glenrothes balance and complexity of flavour.
Arguably it is preferable post-dinner when conversation is in full flow. A "come-hither" nose filled with exotic spices is followed by a citrus and fruity richness coated in honeyed butterscotch. These flavours, and more, are all delivered on the palate culminating with a long, rich and satisfying, fruity spiciness
Appearance:
Medium golden, clear and bright
Nose:
Floral, citrus and butterscotch notes with a hint of spicy white pepper and cedar-wood syrup
Palate:
Rich, sweet, soft fruit flavour, leading to a rich spiciness. Sugared citrus peel soft fruits, medium dry with abundant spices on the finish.
