An 18-year-old Glenrothes from a single first-fill sherry butt, distilled on 19 May 1995 and bottled on 14 October 2013 by Signatory Vintage for its Un-Chillfiltered Collection.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dark raisin, orange peel and fig over toffee, with sherry oak and some leather.
- Palate: Rounded and mouth-coating, with cocoa, dried fruit, clove and a malty Speyside core.
- Finish: Gently drying and persistent, with sherry wood, baking spice and orange marmalade.
Serving & Food
Pour at room temperature into a tulip glass; it drinks well neat at 46%, and a splash of water lifts the orange notes. Try it alongside Christmas pudding, a wedge of aged Manchego, or roast duck with a cherry sauce.
