Product Description
An impressive Gordon & MacPhail bottling of sherry-matured, 1974-vintage Glenrothes for the company's Private Collection range. Distilled on 2 December 1974, matured for 44 years in a refill sherry puncheon and then finally bottled on 6 July 2018, it's a well-aged and carefully selected cask. The whisky is rich, as you'd expect, with well-balanced spice and stewed fruit notes complementing the malty and nutty character of Glenrothes's spirit.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Producer's Notes
Aroma
Complex; aromas of sherry soaked fruitcake filled with stewed sultanas mingle with sticky medjool dates. Dark chocolate and citrus peel notes develop; a gentle woodiness with a delicate herbal edge comes to the fore.
Taste
Elegant, smooth, and sweet; subtle cinnamon and nutmeg flavours balance the mature oak and sherry influences. Notes of fruit and nut chocolate, toasted walnut, and hints of raisin emerge and evolve into zesty citrus. Salted toffee develops towards the end.
Finish
A modest, medium sweet finish fades; hints of charred oak and chocolate remain.
