We don't see a lot of independently bottled Glenrothes, especially not at this age... Filled into an ex-Bourbon Hogshead in 1988, the whisky was bottled after 33 years at 50.5%. 89pts Whiskybase

Finally. High age statement Glenrothes back in the market! Sadly, only 1 bottle left.
Producer Note
"Matured in a high proportion of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks and bottled at natural colour. This expression delivers heady notes with a character defined by salted caramel, mango and coriander seeds."

Glenrothes in Sherry. Makes sense. A lot of times, indie bottlings are pretty drastic departures from a distillery's widely recognized profile, but every now and again we end up with something that sticks closer to the tried and true. This one is of comparable age, drinking strength, and obviously cask type, to core range bottlings from the distillery... but almost certainly better. Because let's face it, Gordon & MacPhail have a sort of 'Midas Touch' with Sherry casks. A sure bet at just shy of three figures (that penny still counts).

34 year old cask strength, heavily sherried, Glenrothes, for less than the 25 year official bottling... and it has a good Whiskybase score! Bottled at a perilously low cask strength of 42% after maturing its whole life in Oloroso Sherry! 89.25pts Whiskybase
