Tasting Notes
This Glenrothes 9 Year Old single malt whisky is a delightful treat for the senses. Distilled in 2013 and matured in a single bourbon cask for nine years, it boasts a robust character at 62.7% ABV. The nose greets you with soft spices reminiscent of tea, complemented by crisp green apple and a touch of herbal maltiness. Vanilla cream and buttery toasted oak notes linger in the background, adding depth and warmth. On the palate, orchard fruit flavors take center stage, leading to layers of sweet cooked stone fruits and vanilla sponge cake. The finish is a harmonious blend of vegetal barley, crisp apple notes, hints of marzipan, and a subtle tickle of clove spice. With only 174 bottles released, this independent bottling from House of MacDuff's The Golden Cask collection offers a unique and limited opportunity to savor the rich and complex flavors of this exceptional Glenrothes whisky.
