A new bottling of some pretty old Glenrothes by Gordon & Macphail. This 1969 vintage is pretty dark even at 43% so it's safe to say that this has been pretty well-sherried. Bottled in 2008, just shy of four full decades in the wood.
A Whisky Agency bottling of 41 year old whisky from Glenrothes. Distilled in 1970 and matured in a bourbon cask until 2011, when it was bottled at a relatively mellow cask strength of 47.7%.
A single hogshead from the popular Speyside distillery Glenrothes. This 1989 vintage release from The Single Malts of Scotland has been bottled at 46%. Clean and fresh, with a hint of spices: much less sherried than most Glenrothes, allowing the distillery character to really shine.
Bottled from a small batch of sherry hogsheads, this cask strength Glenrothes 1990 shows less overt sherried influence than much of the official output, while retaining a naturally sweet, clean distillery character.
