TBWC Glenrothes 25YO - Batch 12 500mL

Mature, mellow, and elegantly sherried, the Glenrothes 25 Year Old – Batch 12 from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a sublime Speyside single malt that captures the distillery’s signature richness with the refined polish of two and a half decades in oak. This is Glenrothes in its prime — fruit-laden, textural, and quietly complex. The nose is warm and luxurious, unfolding with aromas of sultana-studded fruitcake, orange marmalade, and honey-roasted nuts, wrapped in layers of dried fig, cinnamon bark, and cedar wood. A soft, dusty oak note sits underneath, hinting at its long maturation without overpowering the elegant fruit. On the palate, it’s silky and full-bodied, offering a rich interplay of dark chocolate, redcurrant jam, and toffee apple, alongside flavours of walnut loaf, vanilla pod, and clove. The sherry cask influence is pronounced but balanced — delivering depth without heaviness, and sweetness without cloy. The finish is long and warming, fading with notes of soft leather, spiced plum, and a final echo of nutmeg, oak spice, and dried apricot. It’s a graceful conclusion to a whisky that unfolds slowly, rewarding each sip with layers of mature Speyside character
