The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve 0,7L 40%

The Glenrothes Elders Reserve 0.7L The history of Glenrothes Glenrothes is a Scottish malt whisky distillery located in Speyside. The Glenrothes Distillery was founded in 1878 by the company James Stuart & Co. As James Stuart & Co. could not complete the construction, the three entrepreneurs Robert Dick, John Cruickshank and William Grant founded the company William Grant & Co. and finally completed the construction of Glenrothes a year later. After some restructuring measures, William Grant & Co. became part of the Highland Distillers Group Ltd., which still owns the Glenrothes distillery today. Glenrothes' malt whiskies have always been very popular and are regularly voted into the top 10 best single malts by Scottish master blenders. While a large proportion of Glenrothes' whiskeys are used for the two blends Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark, part of the production is also offered as single malts. A large proportion of the single malts on offer are brought to market as vintage bottlings. With a total of five wash stills and five spirit stills, Glenrothes produces 5,600,000 litres of fresh distillate every year and is therefore on a par with the great single malts from Scotland in terms of volume. The Glenrothes Elders Reserve The Glenrothes Elders Reserve is a tribute to the elders of the community, as they are the pillars of society. The individual single malt whiskeys for the Elders Reserve matured for at least 18 years in equal parts American oak and Spanish oak barrels. On the nose, the copper-coloured whiskey is very spicy with notes of pepper, oak and coffee. On the palate, the Elder Reserve is extremely complex and shows light nuances of dried fruit, cocoa and vanilla. The aftertaste is, as you would expect from a single malt of this age, extremely long-lasting and powerful. A highly recommended single malt whisky from Glenrothes!

The Glenrothes Whisky 1999 Single Cask #8193 19 years 0.7L 53% Glenrothes The Glenrothes Whisky distillery is a typical Speyside distillery, as it is located in the whisky town of Rothes, which is between Elgin and Craigellachie. If you translate Glenrothes, you will find that the name alludes to this area. Its name means valley of the Rothes. It was once founded by William Grant & Co, who should not be confused with the founder of Glenfiddich! With years of experience since 1879, the company has brought many a whisky onto the market and established itself with it. However, mainly with malt whisky for various blends. A single malt under the company's own label has only been available for a good 30 years. Silver Cask Series The 1999 Single Cask #8193 19 years was released in the Silver Cask Series. After distillation in 1999, the whisky was filled into bourbon seasoned American oak remade hogshead barrels for final maturation. The whisky was not bottled at cask strength until 2019. Only 240 bottles of this special bottling, from cask no. #8193, are available, making this single cask a rarity. 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.

The Glenrothes 12 year old Speyside Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% New paths As in many well-known distilleries, one or the other product at The Glenrothes is also replaced by a new design, a different name or a similar product. This 12-year-old Speyside Single Malt and its similar representative, the 10-year-old, are new products that are intended to replace the Reserve and Vintage bottlings we know and belong to the so-called The Soleo Collection. Soleo should not be confused with the Solera process! It simply refers to whiskies stored in sherry casks. In terms of character, connoisseurs in particular appreciate it for its harmonious image, but beginners in the world of whisky are also on the safe side with the 10- or 12-year-old. When storing, it is usual to first complete a longer maturation phase in first fill or ex-bourbon barrels and then finish it in sherry or other types of barrels. With this Soleo Collection, the distillery has turned the tables and first matured in sherry barrels. The 12-year-old Glenrothes owes its golden color with flashing amber tones exclusively to its storage in sherry barrels; no coloring was used here. Its unusual aroma is characterized by fruity notes such as bananas and a hint of vanilla. These can also be recognized on the palate. It is a fruity and rich single malt. You can also recognize a taste of melon, citrus and a spice of cinnamon. The whisky does not hide the fact that it was stored in a sherry barrel, so notes of dried fruit are also added.
