Glenrothes 15 Year Old Single Malt is a masterfully crafted Speyside whisky, offering a balance and complex character shaped by over a decade of slow maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks. This expression from The Glenrothes distillery, renowned for its vintage releases and commitment to natural colour and integrity of flavour delivers a refined whisky experience.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Elegant and inviting. A bouquet of ripe pear, fresh citrus peel, and creamy vanilla, layered with gentle oak spice and subtle hints of nutmeg and golden syrup.
Palate: Silky and well-structured. Sweet orchard fruits dominate - think baked apple and white peach, followed by honeyed malt, orange zest, and a touch of toasted almonds. Mid-palate introduces warming spices like cinnamon and clove.
Finish: Long, clean, and satisfying. A gentle fade of spice, oak tannins, and lingering fruit sweetness leaves a lasting impression.
The smooth texture and fruit-forward profile of Glenrothes 15 Year Old make it accessible yet complex enough to impress more experienced whisky drinkers.
Try it in a tulip glass to concentrate the aromas, or add a few drops of water to open up hidden layers. |
