The Glenrothes Editors’ Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 58%

Score: 93 Points

The Glenrothes Editors Cask. This was one of two casks selected for bottling by a team of whisky writers in 2011, and the nose has a good blend of dried fruit and spices, orange peel, pumpkin pie, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice. The taste is dry and intensely spicy with a strong note of cinnamon and black licorice underneath along with brown sugar and caramel. The finish is dry and spicy with a good balance of cinnamon and caramel syrup.
