The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinctive expression from the Speyside distillery, highlighting a maturation predominantly in American oak ex-bourbon casks. This departs slightly from The Glenrothes' more common use of sherry-seasoned oak, resulting in a different flavor profile that emphasizes the influence of bourbon barrels. It is a non-age statement whisky bottled at 40% ABV, with a focus on showcasing the distillery's elegant spirit with a bourbon cask twist.   

Tasting Notes: Expect a smooth and approachable character with the following notes:

• Aroma: Often presents with prominent aromas of vanilla and coconut, along with hints of white peach and sometimes a touch of toasted oak. Some also detect fresh floral notes and a touch of salt.
• Palate: The taste typically features a soft and mellow sweetness, with flavors of vanilla, coconut, and white peach taking center stage. Notes of baked custard and berry fruits can also be present, along with a subtle cinnamon spice and a hint of tropical fruit.
• Finish: The finish is generally smooth and sweet, with lingering notes of vanilla and coconut, and sometimes a touch of citrus. It is often described as medium in length and elegant.   

Awards: The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve has received recognition for its quality:

• Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2018.   
• Double Gold Medal at the WSWA Tasting Competition in 2016.   
• 95 Points (Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation) at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2015.   

Overall Impression: The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve offers a delightful departure from the distillery's more sherry-centric expressions. The exclusive maturation in American oak ex-bourbon casks imparts a significant sweetness with prominent vanilla and coconut notes, making it a particularly smooth and approachable single malt. It's often recommended for those who enjoy the creamy and sweet characteristics imparted by bourbon cask maturation in a Speyside whisky.
