Description

The Last Drop have only gone and bottled up a pair of very old single malts from the Glenrothes distillery! These whiskies were drawn from two single casks, both laid down in 1968 and cracked open in 2018 - this particular cask was bottled at 51.3% ABV. Each 70cl bottle comes with a 5cl miniature, meaning if you want to keep the full bottle closed but really want to taste the whisky, you don't have to make a difficult decision.

Overall

Amber with long-lingering beading. A mellow nosefeel, with slight prickle after a while. The highly perfumed initial aroma – scented hand-cream, attar of roses, carnations – reduces in time, infused by notes of almond oil and oak shavings, with a trace of vanilla. A drop of water enhances the wood notes. A smooth texture and a sweet taste, drying in the spicy finish, with a suggestion of Friar’s Balsam medicine and a cooling mentholic aftertaste.
