A marvellous old single malt from Glenrothes, originally only sold to private clients and select partners of the distillery. Matured for a generous 32 years, this release celebrates the legacy of John Smith, who served for 32 years as the Glenrothes distillery manager from 1897 to 1929.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Stewed plums and cherries. Treacle toffee and dark brown sugar lend sweetness, whilst Brazil nuts and orange oil contribute a delicate quality. Notes of polished oak add depth, accompanied by maple, sweet cinnamon and a hint of Earl Grey tea.
Dried figs, dark chocolate and almond brittle. Candied orange peel offers some contrast to the sweetness, accompanied by the warmth of oak and lingering spice.
Luxurious and complex with velvety sweetness and depth.
