Glenrothes 18years Old Elders’ Reserve Single Malt 700ml

Glenrothes Elders Reserve 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky from Glenrothes, released as part of the Soleo Collection. This series was named after the process of sun-drying grapes for the production of sherry in Jerez, and as such you should expect plenty of sherry notes throughout the range. This one features a very high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned oak cask matured whisky at its core.

This Glenrothes was originally released for the travel retail market and a very popular expression it was. Now discontinued, however we have a small amount in stock which will not last long.

The spirit from Glenrothes was matured in equal amounts of American oak ex-bourbon and European oak ex-Sherry casks.

This 18-year-old Elders’ Reserve was originally released for the travel retail market in 2013 and was then discontinued. It was part of a trio of malts collectively known as the ‘Manse Brae’ Duty Free Range’ after the street on which Rothes House stands. The age of the whiskies were communicated, but not printed on the labels.

And now, the Glenrothes has presented new bottlings of the Elders’ Reserve officially labelled to be 18 years old. The whisky is a marriage of equal amounts of American and Spanish oak casks (presumably ex-sherry and ex-bourbon) and was only released in limited quantities.
