Glenrothes 1975 Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky
93 Points Whisky Advocate
“A polished, very elegant expression with subtle complexity throughout. Notes of squeaky-clean fruit (tangerine, peach, nectarine, kiwi) in light syrup. Vibrant spice (cinnamon, white pepper, anise), creamy vanilla, and almond evolve on the palate, leading to a gentle finish. Surprisingly lively for a whisky more than 30 years old. When I think of great Glenrothes vintages, I go back to the 1972 vintage for comparison. Both are comparable in quality, with the 1972 vintage showing darker sugars, more weight, and more roasted nuts.” –
Distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2006, this is one of the smallest releases from this popular Speyside distillery. 1 of only 3708 bottles.
Earmarked from an early stage an ideal component in blended Scotch whiskies, Glenrothes has long been a key part of big brands such as Cutty Sark and Famous Grouse. Its relationship with the former, lead to a two decade-long association with London wine-merchants, Berry Brother’s & Rudd, when they traded their famous blend for the rights to the Glenrothes single malt brand in 2010.
