TBWC Glenrothes 25YO 500mL

The nose is rich and mellow, with inviting aromas of dried apricots, golden sultanas, and baked orchard fruit, underscored by toffee, almond brittle, and old leather. Sherry cask influence is apparent but refined, with hints of walnut oil, cedarwood, and polished antique furniture. There’s also a touch of orange marmalade, clove, and rose petal. On the palate, it’s velvety and layered—offering flavours of fig cake, roasted hazelnuts, and honeyed malt, wrapped in warming oak spice, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is lush yet structured, with elegant oak tannins balancing the sweetness. As it opens, subtle herbal and floral notes emerge: chamomile, fennel seed, and dried rosehip. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of spiced dried fruit, candied orange peel, and mellow oak, tapering off with a whisper of tobacco leaf and soft sandalwood.
