Glenrothes 1988 (bottled 2011)

Described by Glenrothes' Brand Heritage Director, Ronnie Cox as "a fantastic reminder of how beautifully The Glenrothes ripens from vibrant, zesty youth to rich, full-bodied maturity." This is a fabulous whisky from Glenrothes, aged for more than 20 years in a mix of Spanish and American oak. The result is a classic Winter fireside dram!

@Bottling date2

Hi there! Apologies for the delay in responding. We have looked into this and we believe that the 'approved' essentially marks the date when the cask was first selected, before leaving the whisky in for another 3 years and bottling. --The Chaps at Master of Malt

@Bottling date

The current batch of Glenrothes 1988 (valid as of 4th August 2014) was bottled in 2011. However, please note that this information may change in future, as these whiskies are released in batches, similarly to Balblair. --The Chaps at Master of Malt

Best whisky I've tasted

I'm a new scotch drinker (under 2 years) so I have limited experience. It's not the most expensive bottle I've purchased, but it is the best whisky I've tasted. Partially because I prefer smooth sweeter scotch, but also because this batch is so damn good. There's no point in reviewing it because the description is dead on. It's silky smooth, complex, delicious from beginning to end, and worth every penny. If you love scotch, you need to own a bottle. Anyone who rates this less than 9/10 has either been ruined forever by drinking too many $500+ bottles, or they just don't like sweet rich whiskys. Buy it, enjoy it, and remember it forever.
