Glenrothes 42 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glenrothes 42 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare and exquisite Speyside expression, representing a significant milestone in the distillery's history as one of their oldest releases. Distilled in 1980 and matured for 42 years in four exceptional refill casks before being married together, this whisky showcases the delicate and fruity character of The Glenrothes, refined over four decades. Bottled at 43% ABV and with natural colour, only 1,134 bottles were released globally.  

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Expect an intensely aromatic fragrance with notes of sun-ripened apricots, orange peel, and sweetly spiced almonds. Hints of fresh coriander seed, nutmeg, and a touch of fresh cedar wood add further complexity. Some also detect tropical notes of mango and passionfruit.   
• Palate: The palate is richly sweet with brown sugar and honeycomb, complemented by a creamy texture with vanilla and toasted almonds. A light oak influence and a distinctive orange oil fragrance are also present.   
• Finish: The finish is described as creamy, sweet, and velvety with a gentle lingering aromatic fragrance.   

Awards: While specific awards solely for the 42 Year Old can be limited due to its recent release and exclusivity, The Glenrothes distillery and its older expressions have received high praise. Keep an eye on recent whisky competition results for potential accolades for this exceptional bottling.

Overall Impression: The Glenrothes 42 Year Old is a beautifully balanced and elegant single malt that truly allows the bright and vibrant character of the distillery to shine through after an extensive maturation period. It offers a complex and luxurious tasting experience, showcasing the harmonious development of the spirit over four decades in oak. This rare release is a testament to the art of whisky making and a prized addition to any serious collection.
