That Boutique-y Whisky Company (distilled at Glenrothes) 20 year old, 52.4%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2018 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Grain Scotch
A delightful whisky with a nose of honey, nectarine, fresh apple, sandalwood, strands of lime, and sweet florals. Sipping unlocks flavors of apple pastries and orange peel, before a powder keg of spices explodes on the tip of the tongue. The aftermath has melting fudge, baked orange, and finishes with hot chili nuts. This hits the trademark flavors of Glenrothes, but the cask strength helps to champion the spices. (Batch 6; 430 bottles)
