New Release: Glenrothes 2000-2017 Official UK Exclusive Single Cask Series Batch #1 #2364 58.7%

The new series is exciting, isn't it? Glenrothes GLENROTHES 2000-2017 Official Bottling UK Exclusive Single Cask Series Batch #1 #2364 58.7% One of 575 bottles The aroma is sweet, with notes of apricot and orange jam, caramelized nuts, rich oak, and a touch of cream. Upon drinking, it expands from a smooth mouthfeel with the rich sweetness and slight bitterness of apricot jam. While there's some roughness, the body is thick and full-bodied, leaving a lingering intense flavor. [Good/Very Good] This Glenrothes was bottled by Official as a new series for the UK domestic market. Marked as part of the Single Cask Series, this is one of the releases from the 2000 vintage. In terms of flavor and bottle count, the cask is likely a Sherried butt or punch. The recent sherry influence is present but not overpowering, with stronger notes of apricot and citrus jams in both aroma and flavor. The high-quality oak influence, typical of single cask, is evident, giving it a rich and creamy profile. Still in its original cask strength, it has some roughness but not too much inconsistency. The balance between sweetness and bitterness is good, with a solid body, suggesting it may become even more delicious in the future. The quality conveys that it was carefully selected from the vast, mixed collection of casks Official currently possesses.
