Glenrothes – Oldest Reserve (70cl, 43%)

Glenrothes – Oldest Reserve is a whisky from Glenrothes (Speyside). Aged 30 years, bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. Hidden in a tree-lined gorge, the Glenrothes distillery is nestled in the core of the Speyside region, a stone’s throw from the Burn of Rothes and the Mannoch Hills. Producing malt whiskies using exact replicas of the original 1879 pot stills, the Glenrothes hallmark is to use Scottish barley, malted in traditional Saladin boxes. The product is bottled in a characteristic, squat, bulbous vessel, complete with the Malt Master’s signature on every selection. Offering a Single Vintage, Reserve or Special Release, all marrying an individual vintage with a reserve, the Glenrothes Malts are notoriously complex in flavour. The Oldest Reserve combines Glenrothes that was distilled in different years. This first bottling is selected from spirit that came off the stills in 1967, 1972, 1977, 1979, 1980 and has been matured for at least 30 years - some much longer. The Oldest Reserve is exclusive to the Travel Retail sector. Please note minor tearing on inner box.
