Glenrothes 18-year-old was released as part of the Soleo Collection. This series was named after the process of sun-drying grapes for the production of sherry in Jerez, and as such you should expect plenty of sherry notes throughout the range. This one features a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned oak cask matured whisky at its core.
 
Nose:
Decadent vanilla and orange, with hints of cherry and almond developing.
Palate:
Still packing plenty of dried fruit notes, alongside crisp pear and a spicy touch of stem ginger.
Finish:
Lasting sweetness of vanilla and pear, with peppery flourishes.
