The Glenrothes Unveils The 25
The Glenrothes has unveiled the latest addition to its whisky portfolio: The 25.
The Glenrothes has previously offered a 25 year old whisky, but The 25 is an entirely new expression. Matured in a high proportion of first fill sherry-seasoned casks and a mixture of both American and European oak, The 25 is bottled of natural color at 43% ABV.
Official tasting notes for The Glenrothes 25 Year Old follow:
Nose: Ripe peaches, liquid caramel and zesty orange peel. An aroma rich with nutty sweetness and marzipan, complemented by gentle, fragrant notes of cedar wood, coriander seed and just a hint of jasmine.
Palate: Creamy vanilla, ripe stone fruit and orange oil, infused with toasted almonds, Swiss milk chocolate, delicate oak notes and a lingering sweet spice.
Finish: Rich and sweet with a silky nuttiness and persisting fragrance.
The Glenrothes 25 Year Old is housed in a fully recyclable cylinder that unfolds to reveal the bottle within. Embossed with the contours of The Glenrothes Distillery Estate, the copper external gives way to a textured verdigris inside – celebrating the transformation of copper through the passage of time.
The Glenrothes 25 Year Old will be available this fall for a suggested retail price of $750 for a 700 mL bottle.
