1988 Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

These 1988 distillations from Glenrothes received some strong reviews. There were sometimes multiple releases from the same vintage, bottled at different times. This one was decanted way back in 2008. Expect classic sherry-influenced notes of rich candied orange peel and fruit compote. 43% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... The hue is deep amber and the nose is equally resonant and rich. This is Glenrothes in its most muscular guise, so that while you have the normal layers of fruity complexity, there is an extra weight. Think of citrus peels, sticky dates, walnuts, and fruit leather. The palate is soft and rolling with light tannin. For me, it's at its best au natural. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com
