Glenrothes 25 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 43%

The Soleo Collection from Glenrothes takes its name from the process of sun-drying grapes for sherry making in Jerez, so you're in for a sherried treat here. The range also eschews the vintages as seen on previous Glenrothes bottlings, instead featuring age statements on most of them. This one is a 25 year old expression, and features a high proportion of first fill sherry seasoned oak casks at its core.

Tasting Note

Nose

Stewed plums and apples, polished oak furniture, cigar box leading to a slight hint of soft smoke.

Palate

Rounded malty notes peer out from behind vibrant cooked berry and mulled wine sweetness. Oak spices arrive on the mid-palate, but mellow swiftly.

Finish

Caramelised dates, mango and old leather.
