The Glenrothes vintage series was crafted to showcase Scotches at their drinking peak - forgoing the prevailing convention of age-statements and allowing greater expressive freedom to the Master Whisky Maker to create unique and memorable bottlings. After releasing the first edition in 2004, then Master Whisky Maker John Ramsay held back a number of casks for further maturation. Ten years later, the whisky was deemed ready and bottled as the 1992 Second Edition by his successor Gordon Motion. Uniquely, this was the first Glenrothes to be matured entirely in refill casks and today, only a very small number of bottles of this 22 Year Old single malt remain. If you are fortunate to find one, you will be rewarded with a spectacular bouquet of dark fruits, dried figs and citrus notes. The flavors are bold but refined with the creamy richness of vanilla and coconut, and fruitiness of citrus balanced by soft spice in the finish. An excellent sipping whisky.
