Tasting Notes
The Glenrothes 12 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness) is a delightful Speyside whisky that exudes elegance and complexity. At 60.6% ABV, this single malt packs a punch but remains remarkably smooth. The initial aroma is a delightful blend of silky caramel, juicy melon, and mashed banana, complemented by floral tobacco notes and a subtle hint of pipe smoke. On the palate, the sherry cask influence shines through, offering layers of dried fruit, burnt sugar sweetness, and woody spices that mingle harmoniously with roasted malt and charred oak flavors. The finish is a delightful continuation of candied fruits and sweet baking spices, with a touch of smoke lingering pleasantly. This dram is a true treat for whisky enthusiasts, offering a rich and indulgent experience that showcases the magic of sherry cask maturation.
