Old Particular Midnight Series Glenrothes 15 Year Old 2005

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 48.4%

A rather well-sherried single malt from the Glenrothes Distillery, which was distilled in September 2005 and left to age in a single sherry butt for 15 years. It would eventually be bottled in December 2020 by Douglas Laing for the Old Particular Midnight Series, with only 321 bottles produced. It's got the moon on the label, hanging out, looking at some stars. That's wonderful.

Nose

Plum, Christmas pudding, flamed orange peel, and a touch of old oak.

Dates, toffee, chocolate once again, red chili flake.
