Now sold out in Europe, we've just received a tiny allocation of this 2006 / bottled 2016 Glenrothes in full Sherry form.

Tasting note: [Butts 6160-61-62] Brilliant topaz / amber gold. Trace sulphur along with appealing nutty, fruit cake notes developing hints of dried flowers, bitter chocolate and old leather. Nice freshness, but even better after air contact. Classically styled with fruit mince pie flavours, an oily texture and warming wood spices backing up the finish. Hints of sulphur through the aftertaste which is spicy, nutty, satisfying. Medium long. Fully matured in Oloroso Sherry casks. 48% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the bottler... A full bodied, richly fruity and intense Speyside malt fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks, traditionally the best choice for enhancing the robust style of distillate from this area of Scotland. A special edition from a vatting of three butts with complementary flavour profiles, to reach the perfect balance between malty sweetness, winey character, flowery aromas, autumnal nuttiness and summery red fruits. Retaining a very marked robustness even when adding a tiny drop of water for a more leisurely enjoyment, it is a classically styled malt from this distillery, biscuity but without any hint of cloying sweetness: the firm mineral character and the dry and peppery finish are just the right complement to guarantee complexity and multi-dimensionality.
