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: Fairly sweet. Fresh, clean phenols immediately assert themselves, with aromas of fire on a beach and wood ash. They are supported by subtle fruity notes, some sweet, suggesting rowan jelly, others evoking unripe currants. With a drop of water, the ash is more present.
Mouth: Unctuous and with a texture that really fills the mouth, very sweet at first then quickly drying, with a hint of salt and a smoky taste of lip-smacking intensity. A drop of water brings out the sweetness even more, but makes little difference.
Finish: Long, powerfully smoky and drying, with a touch of spice that also lingers in the aftertaste.
Nez : Le Glenrothes McCallum 2007/12 ans présente des arômes subtils de fruits mûrs, de vanille et de miel, avec une touche de chêne grillé. Bouche : En bouche, ce single malt offre une texture soyeuse et des saveurs de fruits confits, de caramel et d'épices douces, équilibrées par des notes boisées. Finish : La finale est longue et chaleureuse, laissant en bouche des notes de fruits secs et de céréales, avec une légère pointe de poivre.
Nose:Deliciously malty, butterscotch candy followed by citrus and woody vanilla aromas, layered with spicy woody notes of ginger and cinnamon. Mouth:Candied orange and lemon zest, vanilla and butterscotch, flower honey, melted brown sugar and woody spices. Finish:Rich and malty, with sweet aromas of woody vanilla and subtle spices.
Nose: Fine fragrance of vanilla and banana.
Mouth: Lemon, banana and melon with a hint of cinnamon.
