The Soleo Collection introduces brand-new whiskies: 10 Years Old, 12 Years Old, Whisky Maker's Cut, 18 Years Old and 25 Years Old. It has replaced the Vintage and Reserve catalogs. While the product range has changed significantly, the character remains the same. As ever, old oak sherry casks define The Glenrothes. Almost 90% of the distillery's aging casks have contained sherry, a wine made from white grapes near the Andalusian town of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and honey reveal themselves delicately. Mouth: On the palate, notes of cereal, dried fruit and toasted oak bring remarkable depth and elegance. Finish: The finish is long and warm, giving way to spicy, woody notes that linger pleasantly on the palate.
Nose: Sweet and delicate, a little spicy and deeply exotic. Viney, suggesting white grapes and Manzanilla sherry, then becomes lush, floral and fruity. A hint of vanilla caramel gradually appears. A drop of water lifts the citrus notes and adds hints of sweet caramel.
Mouth: The texture is soft and creamy, the taste is slightly sweet and fruity. It then becomes more lively, with acidity and spicy, peppery, drying tannins. A drop of water initially brings out the fruitiness without diminishing the spice.
Finish: Medium to long, finishing on a dry, tongue-tingling, warmly spicy note with fruity acidity and a pinch of white pepper.
Nose: Teaninich 17 yo/99 Lim.Edition 2017 is characterized by notes of ripe fruit, vanilla and toffee, with a hint of walnut and malt.
Feel: On the palate, this Highland single malt reveals flavors of honey, pear, oak and hazelnut, balanced by spicy and woody nuances.
Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving notes of dried fruit, cinnamon and toasted cereal on the palate. A complex whisky rich in character, to be enjoyed with care.
A whole garden of fruit and floral fragrances in this sweet, long and complex yet totally integrated Speyside of the highest distinction. This 12-year-old single malt whisky is rich and oily on the palate, with nutty, cereal notes and an aromatic, dry finish.
