The Glenrothes 1979 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 55.2%

Score: 92 Points

Cask #3808 was an ex-sherry butt, and gave this malt a nose full of vanilla, plums, dates, and toasted oak. The taste is spicy and thick with notes of Christmas cake, orange peel, plums, raisins, and brown sugar. The finish is long and sweet with tropical fruits and a touch of brown sugar.
