The Loch Fyne Glenrothes 12 Year Old

Hand-selected by the team at Loch Fyne Whiskies for their range of single cask releases, this limited edition 12 year old was distilled at Glenrothes in January 2005. Matured in sherry cask #2012 until bottling in September 2017 at a preferred strength of 46% abv. Only 1035 bottles have been produced, each one free from artificial colouring and chill-filtration.Light and delicate aromas with a subtle candied sweetness of raspberry ripple ice-cream, sugary jelly babies and strawberry sherbet, a touch of mint arrives over time. It has an oily texture on the palate and is both fruity and floral with rose, marzipan and over ripe plums the dominant flavours. A touch of water draws out strawberry and vanilla notes then a finish of soft oak and tobacco leaf balanced with the fruitier flavours consistent with this easy drinking Speysider.
