Single Malt
The Glenrothes // Speyside, Scotland
RARE
Glenrothes put this whisky in the barrel in 1985 and originally bottled it in 1997 as a 12-year-old. Then they decided to see what another 8 years would do.
So they let what remained sit until May of 2005, which makes this second release a 20 year-old whisky. .

Tasting Notes
"Rich, sweet, and fruity on the nose, full of caramel, malt, buttery cinnamon toast, pears, and cream. The taste sticks with what the nose suggests then adds oak, chocolate, and orange zest to the mix. The long finish drifts dreamily from oak spice and chocolate-orange sweetness. "
