Glenrothes 1995 18 Years

The Glenrothes 1995 was a fist ever vintage to be laid down with the intent to be bottled as a Glenrothes (a portion of the whisky from the Glenrothes distillery is used in the blends such as Cutty Sark). It was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2013, so it makes it a 18 year old single malt. About 30% was matured in first fill American sherry oak, Spanish sherry oak, and the rest refill bourbon casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, Bottle size 750ml

Nose: Floral, citrus and butterscotch notes with a hint of spicy white pepper and cedar-wood syrup.

Palete: Rich, sweet, soft fruit flavor, leading to a rich spiciness.

Finish: Sugared citrus peel soft fruits, medium dry with abundant spices.
