The Glenrothes 12 Yo Speyside Single Malt Whisky 0,7L 40%

The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve 0.7L 40% Speyside Distillery Glenrothes, a Scottish malt distillery, is located in the 'Valley of the Rothes' (which is also what the company name means) between Craigella and Elgin in Speyside. It was founded in 1879. At that time, the distillery was founded by William Grant & Co., who is not to be confused with the founder of Glenfiddich. In the years after its founding, there were a few turbulent years for the whisky distillery. It was often hit by one fire or another and once burned down completely. However, these setbacks did not hold the company back and the distillery was continually rebuilt. It was worth it: The distillery's generally light whisky with its fine bouquet of berries, other fruits and carefully selected spices is among the best in all of Scotland. Here, whisky is divided into categories by master blenders. In this classification, the malt from Glenrothes is now among the top six and is therefore doing really well in the whisky business. Bourbon Cask Reserve This new release 'Bourbon Cask' is also known to experts as 'Alba Reserve'. However, in order to better emphasize the name of the type of cask used, it was renamed 'Bourbon Cask' and so it fits better into the cask series, which includes a sherry and a peated cask. Tasting Notes The aroma is floral and fresh with hints of vanilla and a few exotic notes. It is stored in ex-bourbon barrels made of American white oak, which primarily shape the taste profile. On the palate, as is well known, a very soft and light whisky, with a strong emphasis on vanilla. The aromas are accompanied by other fruit components of red berries. The finish is medium-long, but as expected, very soft and creamy with sweet notes

Tasting Notes On the nose, the 19-year-old whisky is very voluminous, with finely tuned notes of oak and vanilla. A subtle chocolate aroma is also noticeable. The distillery's experience is evident on the palate. A super soft and complex whisky that is not overwhelming. Vanilla and chocolate are also present here, along with the expressive aromas of citrus fruits and green tea. The finish is definitely the crowning glory here. Very long and other great aromas are added. A very fruity aftertaste in which, in addition to the citrus notes, there is also the presence of white peach and is rounded off by fine vanilla notes. A very fine drop for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
