Glenrothes 1985 22 Year Old | Old & Rare
Single Speyside Malt Whisky
From a release of 277 bottles, this was distilled at Glenrothes in 1985 matured for 22 years in a rum cask before bottled by Douglas Laing at cask strength 56% in April of 2007, under their old & rare range.
Tasting Notes:
It has the aroma of a well fired jammy sponge cake, loaded with a truly ripe fruity character. Mouth coatingly fructiferous as well, the palate is sweet and spicy, culminating in a late and attractive nuttiness. Those same spices are immediately evident on the early finish, particularly cloves, which all run into a smoky dry late finish.
