Regarding Sherry Cask-Matured single maltTHE Macallan leads the pack in terms of popularity and sales. But there are more than a few other notes distilleries that really make Scotch whiskey which is mainly or entirely matured in the oak seasoned with the Sherry, and one of them is the Macallan Sister distillery, the Glenrotheswhich has just launched a new 15 -year expression.
THE Glenrothes was founded in 1879 and made whiskey in a consistent manner since a few fires that caused fairly large damage to the distillery during its early years. In 2017, Edrington, a Scottish drinking company, bought it in Berry Bros. & Rudd, a return to the company's portfolio after an absence of seven years when she joined Highland Park and the Macallan. While the old distillery uses a large amount of sherry barrels to mature its whiskey, the second is almost exclusively elderly in European and American oak barrels seasoned with Sherry from Spain. The same goes for the GlenrothesWho relaunched its main range a few years ago to focus on two older expressions in bottles at 18 and 25 years old.
The 15 -year -old joins these two whiskeys as a youngest permanent member of the main range (a 12 -year -old child is part of the Soleo collection), but it's still a mature whiskey full of flavor. “While The Glenrothes The mind is intrinsically delicate in style, it is not overwhelmed by the more daring flavors created by maturation in European oak barrels of first wire, “said the mastery of whiskey, Laura, in a press release.” It is this precise and counter-intuitive marriage in the delicate way and that which makes this whiskey of 15 years. “”
Whiskey is bottled at 43% ABV without added, and it is a rich and delicious Sipper. Look for aromas like cinnamon, brown sugar and tannic oak, followed by dried fruit, candied ginger, vanilla, spy bean covered with chocolate and orange skin flame in the mouth. It is a very good whiskey matured in sherry barrels which is in the maturation zone of Goldilocks – not too old, not too young – which should appeal to fans of the Macallan And the Whiskey Single Malt Single on the whole. The Glenrothes 15 is now available to buy in websites like Reserve bar (SRP $ 100) as well as local alcohol stores.
