Glenrothes 1985 Vintage 70cl

Glenrothes 1985 Vintage is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distilled in 1985. It comes from Glenrothes, the Speyside house famous for vintage releases and its distinctive hand-written bottles.

This release is bottled at 43%.

Nose: Ripe berry fruit, cinnamon and inviting depth.
Palate: Rounded oak, joined by citrus zest, building in intensity.
Finish: Elegant and lingering, closing on vanilla.

Pour it slowly, add a drop of water if you like, and give it time in the glass. Collector’s note: a bottling with clear collector appeal. A strong candidate for the cabinet as much as the glass.
