2015 Signatory Vintage Glenrothes 10 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #50 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

"As a sherry lover, this SV is a perfect one for me." - whiskybase.com

Bold and richly sherried malts are just what the doctor ordered for the Winter months ahead. Few Speysiders do them as well as Glenrothes. While it's been appreciated for years by enthusiasts, it's generally played second (or third) fiddle in the Edrington portfolio. Attention remains directed towards their crown jewels - Macallan and Highland Park. Recently, Edrington has decided to 'premiumise' Glenrothes, only offering older age statements (18 years old and up), so expect affordable expressions like this to become increasingly rare. The distillery keynote has been compared to 'fresh oranges', and Glenrothes' affinity with sherry casks is famous. Just how well its character holds up to Andrew Symington's typically heavy-handed preference for first-fill oloroso butts will be for the lucky few to find out. This whisky will likely show its best after 10-15 minutes breathing and continue to build once opened. Notes suggest a dense and spicy dram including dark fruits, pecans and butterscotch, honeycomb, barley and orchard fruit. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... As a sherry lover, this SV is a perfect one for me. SV is always promising but this is even better. A very good and competent sherry matured whisky. More of a cask driven whisky with the sherry, spicy, oaky and leather nose and tastes being more to the front... Thick, oily, lovely. ABV is high but the control on alcohol is good. The feeling of alcohol is just right that wouldn’t make u feel uncomfortable while teasing your taste buds. The sherry is sweet but not too sweet, it’s right on spot to level out the alcohol. Perfect! - whiskybase.com
