Glenrothes 6yo 2011 – Cooper’s Choice
Another independent bottle of Glenrothes, from the stable of Cooper’s Choice a.k.a. Vintage Malt Whisky Company.
This one was actually where my love of indie ‘Rothes began. A dram with great value for money, infused with big bold sherry notes. Just as we like it. It has matured on a good old sherry butt and is bottled at 57.5% ABV:
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey-like sherry notes, ripe bananas, hazelnuts and walnuts.
Palate
Wow, this really is something: full and juicy fruity notes, lots of nuts and raisins. Slightly drying on the tongue.
Finish
Hazel- and para nuts, sweet tobacco, raisins, milk chocolate, spices, dries raspberries, toast and gooseberry-jam.
It’s interesting that such a young single malt can achieve such a taste, without practice of ‘cheating’ with octave casks. Very well done!
