Malt whisky is like fine wine and matures at its own pace, to this end The Glenrothes distillery knows like no other to exactly pinpoint each spirit’s zenith of maturity – and that much should be said, their centenary-old unusually slow distillation process adds another exciting edge to each bottling. The reissued 1991 Vintage offers the best of both maturing in Spanish oak and American oak barrels and opens the connoisseur’s nose a spectrum of berry fruit notes, a palate featuring vanilla and butterscotch and a long, mellow vanilla finish, all encased in a creamy structure, which additionally earned it a World Spirit gold award. A hand-applied signature of approval completes this soft dram that’ll elevate any night-long conversation.
