Tasting Notes

Nose

Antique wood, beeswax, dried fig, walnut oil, old sherry and a whisper of incense.

Palate

Concentrated, waxy, with orange peel, dark toffee, clove, black tea and ancient oak.

Finish

Immense, a slow unwinding of tobacco, bitter chocolate and dried fruit.

Expert Review

9/10

A half century old Glenrothes drawn from a handful of casks filled in the 1960s, a rare survivor of the distillery's blending era.
