Darkness Glenrothes Oloroso Cask Finish 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

It seems that independent bottlings of Glenrothes arrive almost as infrequently as Macallan. Both are owned by corporate giant, Edrington who are instigating some significant changes at the distillery. An upgrade is scheduled in the coming years, and the marketing emphasis has already taken a dramatic shift towards 'ultra premium' bottlings. The ten and twelve-year-olds as well as the Whisky Maker's Cut are all discontinued with the range now starting at 18 years. Cask strength age statements like this are going to become a rarity indeed. Opportunity knocks! Octave oloroso cask finished.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Caramelised nuts, chocolate chip cookie, dates, raisins, and a hint of mature oak. Taste: Molasses with yet more chocolatey notes and chewy dried fruit, with cinnamon and ginger developing. Finish: Red wine richness, and a hint of earthy malt.

Please note: ABV may vary
