Glenrothes 10 Year Old - 2012 - Refill Butt Maturation - Infrequent Flyers - Batch 11 - Cask 170
FOR SAME DAY UK SHIPPING (MONDAY - FRIDAY)
AWW # 91: Glenrothes 2012 cask # 170 / 10YO / 62.8% / Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Region : Speyside
Cask : Refill Butt
Style: Refill Butt Matured
Colour : Burnt amber.
Nose : Very heavy nose. Red wine notes. Fruity - red plums and black grapes (but no twisted melons, man). Boiled sweets, very subtle dark chocolate notes and a slight hint of sweet BBQ sauce.
Taste : A cask officially and ambiguously described as 'refill butt'. However, the colour and flavour profile here suggest we may be dealing with a refill sherry butt – although this can neither be confirmed nor denied. Sweet and fruity, but not overwhelmingly so – it’ a refill, so the foot is slightly off the gas. Honeycomb, Demerara sugar, marzipan, stewed sultanas and cinnamon spice. Concludes with a touch of cracked black pepper.
