Summary

This 18-year-old whisky from Glenrothes is part of The Soleo Collection, which celebrates the traditional process of sun-drying grapes for sherry production. The whisky is matured in sherry-seasoned oak casks, imparting a rich and complex character that is both inviting and sophisticated. The deep amber color hints at the depth of flavor within, promising a luxurious experience for the palate.

On the nose, this whisky offers a bouquet of rich prunes, dried figs, and aged sherry, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla bean and oak spices. The palate is equally rewarding, with layers of dark chocolate, fruit cake, and a touch of nutmeg, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice. The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, making each sip a pleasure.

The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of sherry and oak, with a hint of baking spices that invites another sip. This whisky is a testament to Glenrothes' dedication to quality and craftsmanship, making it a worthy addition to any connoisseur's collection.
