“Great sherried dram, prefer it over its Macallan 12 sherries oak cousin ”
Master of Malt Customer
Description
12 year old single malt from the Glenrothes distillery, released as part of the Soleo Collection. This range takes its name from the process of sun-drying grapes in Jerez for sherry production, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that sherried deliciousness is a focus here. Also noteworthy is the lack of vintage on the label, with Glenrothes decides to eschew them in favour of age statements for the majority of the series.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Gingerbread, stewed apple and earthy vanilla, then soft tropical fruit notes and a hint of sherried funk.
Palate
Creamy hazelnut, dried fruit and a hint of cinnamon. Hints of chocolate, old leather, dried herbs and tobacco add depth among Galia melon and honeyed oak.
Finish
Long and sweet with a touch of baking spice and more stewed fruits.
Overall
A perfect introduction to all things that make Glenrothes fantastic.
