In Douglas Laing & Co's Premier Barrel range, this Glenrothes from a single cask produced 411 bottles. The bottle is distinctive in that it is made of ceramic.
Let's Taste It :
Beautiful breadth on the nose, with iodine and vanilla, it's intense but also mellow and pleasant. Slight minerality, fine sea salt, granite. A whiff of butter. The dried fruits are rare, the Sherry is very discreet, but they give an appreciable thickness. Continues on the palate, with candied vanilla, chalky rock and discreet dried fruits that add character. The finish is fairly long, salty, dry earth, charcoal, lacquered wood. Nevertheless, it lacks a little power.
In Short,
Very nice bottling, to be enjoyed in a cool, cosy place. On the other hand, I almost didn't smell the sherry, but maybe that's just me. And the price is totally exaggerated.
Score : 86
