Glenrothes single cask 1966 and
1967
Forgive me for not being able to tear myself away from the
company hymn book for a moment – Berry Bros & Rudd happens to
own the brand – but it is a red letter day when The Glenrothes
releases a new vintage and especially when the whisky is far
rarer than any previous offerings.
The announced 1966 and 1967 single casks of this perilously
drinkable Speysider fulfil all of the requisites of a strong
collector’s edition, namely, very limited quantities available,
numbered bottles, great packaging and contents tempting enough
that the number of bottles released will most probably decline
with fair rapidity.
Price guide: There are two casks from each vintage available,
the 1966 malts costing around £900 per bottle and the 1967’s at
£700.
Full tasting notes are available in Issue 30 of Whisky Magazine
(Page 21).

The Glenrothes 1967 cask
6998 db (94) n24 amiable malt blunders into
vanilla: this relaxed, seriously laid-back yet ultra complex
malt keeps you sniffing until your nose bleeds; t24
glorious. Just a celebration of all things malty yet softly
spiced, fruity yet grained, sweet yet at times slightly dry;
f23 a slight hint of something smokey as the peppers tone
down to something softer amid the sweet vanilla; b23
Glenrothes at its most seductive and complex. Now this is a
classic: not just a Speysider but among all Scotland malts.
Almost Sprinbankesque in sheer, unfettered elan. 46,3% nc. 180
bottles. |
