Producer Tasting Note

"This 38-year-old single malt was made in 1980 at Glenrothes distillery and matured in a single cask until being bottled by indie bottler Adelphi. Drawn from a ref-ex Sherry hogshead, this is 24 carat gold in color with bright copper lights and no beading due to its natural low strength. Apple crumble, slightly burnt on top, shortbread, unripe bananas and red apple skins with pineapple chunks and tropical fruit salad in the development. Both incredibly delicate and complex to taste with flamed orange peel over toffee apples and a soft, persistent tangy aftertaste. Old school distillate taken to full maturation."
