The Glenrothes Vintage 2004, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
This was matured in American oak sherry-seasoned casks. The nose offers cherry liqueur, sultanas, fruit spice, honey, and new leather. Vanilla and sweet orchard fruits on the early palate, followed by darker berry fruits, soft oak, and a savory note. Cocoa powder and a wisp of smoke in the medium-length finish. (3,150 bottles for U.S.)
