Marketed by the famous London-based wine and spirits merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd from 2010, Glenrothes single malt returned to the Edrington Group in 2017, which also owns the Macallan and Highland Park distilleries. Part of the renowned “Plume” collection by La Maison du Whisky, dedicated to sherry-cask-aged whiskies, this single cask stands out for its complexity. Beneath a consistent tone, its aromatic and flavor palette is marked by autumnal, jammy, floral, and spicy notes of great noble expression |

Nose : Rich, powerful. A subtle blend of dark chocolate, licorice, candied apricot, and dried fruits (chestnut, walnut), the aromatic palette gradually evolves towards more jammy (orange, quince), honeyed (linden), and medicinal (Tiger Balm) registers. Palate : Lively, slender. Starting exactly where the nose left off, the flavor palette adds indulgent notes of toffee, raisin bread, and carrot cake. Becoming increasingly heady, it extends towards notes of orange blossom, geranium, and iris concrete. Finish : Long, slightly tannic. Behind a very fine mineral reduction (slate), the tasting takes on a more vanilla, autumnal character (mushroom, moss) and praline (gianduja). Finally, spices (cardamom, clove) lend much nobility to a retro-olfaction also tinged with exoticism (persimmon, mango). |
