The Glenrothes Vintage 2004 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

43% ABV, 750 ml

"Smoke and heat open the door to the sensory experience of this single malt. Smoked coconut, charred tea leaves, fresh wood chips, cooked banana, ripe date plum, gala apples, bergamot, sunflowers, toasted seeds, overcreamed milk, and pungent citrus oils come together for a full bodied, and robust drink." 94 Points, 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

“All of the Glenrothes single malt is Vintage malt — whisky distilled and put in cask in a single year, then bottled as either a Reserve or Vintage when judged to be at its peak of maturity, character and flavor. At The Glenrothes, maturity matters more than age. Just 4 percent of the distillery’s capacity is released as single malt each year, ensuring that whisky lovers receive the best of the best. A combination of many factors, including an unusually slow distillation process in tall copper-pot stills, maturation in exceptional oak casks and a commitment to both craftsmanship and sustainability, delivers expressions with unique personalities and complex, well-poised balance.” - The Glenrothes

Distillery Manager Alasdair Anderson described that “The Vintage 2004 is among the best I’ve tasted, with a real sweetness from the sherry casks adding the signature fruity Glenrothes spirit.”
