Glenrothes 12 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness) | 700ML

A dram from Glenrothes is always grand, and when it's been treated to a finish in a sherry cask, you know you're in for a treat! This single malt joins the Darkness range of independent bottlings, and thus spent the final part of its 12 year maturation resting up in Oloroso sherry casks.

Glenrothes 12 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Silky caramel with juicy notes of melon and mashed banana nestled beside floral tobacco and a hint of pipe smoke.

Palate: That sherry cask has worked its magic, with layer upon layer of dried fruit, burnt sugar sweetness, and woody spice mingling with roasted malt and charred oak.

Finish: Yet more candied fruits and sweet baking spices, with a touch of smoke poking through.

Distillery Information

The Glenrothes distillery is quite substantial; its ten stills have a capacity of over 5.6 million litres annually. The distillery runs at 90% of this and stores the maturing single malt whisky in the sixteen onsite warehouses. Despite this, Glenrothes preserves a rather artisan identity and have shied away from producing a traditional range. Perhaps it is down to current licensees, Berry Brothers and Rudd, the famed London wine merchants. Glenrothes single malt whiskies are offered as a range of vintages.
