The Critics
Summary
This 10-year-old whisky from The Glenrothes Soleo Collection is a fine example of a single malt Scotch whisky. It is crafted in the Speyside region of Scotland, known for producing some of the most elegant and complex whiskies. The spirit is aged for a decade in sherry-seasoned oak casks, which imparts a rich and nuanced character to the whisky.
The whisky presents a bright golden color, indicative of its time spent in sherry casks. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of fresh fruits, with prominent notes of lemon zest and green apple, complemented by a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is smooth and mellow, with flavors of ripe peach and juicy pear, balanced by a gentle oakiness that adds depth and complexity.
The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering sweetness and a touch of oak spice. This whisky is an excellent choice for those new to single malts, as well as seasoned enthusiasts looking for a well-rounded and approachable dram. Its youthful vibrancy and fruity profile make it a versatile addition to any whisky collection.
