    48.8%

  • Age:

  • Price:

  • Intro:

    Distilled by Glenrothes and matured exclusively in seasoned, first fill sherry casks, this release is bottled at 48.8% ABV - the strength selected by Glenrothes team.

  • Nose:

    Thin, light, sweet. Creamy, coffee, a touch of maple and butterscotch. Light pepper and sulfur.

  • Taste:

  • Finish:

    Long finish, a touch hot, but plenty of sherry character.
