Glenrothes 38yo Adelphi

A single cask release of Glenrothes, bottled by Adelphi independent bottlers. Distilled in 1980, matured for 38 years in a refill ex-sherry hogshead and bottled in 2019. Only 176 bottles produced. Nonchillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at cask strength of 40.2%.

Nose: Apple crumble, slightly burnt on top, shortbread, unripe bananas and red apple skins with pineapple chunks and tropical fruit salad in the development.

Palate: Both incredibly delicate and complex to taste with flamed orange peel over toffee apples.

Finish: A soft, lasting tangy aftertaste. Old school distillate taken to full maturation.
