GLENROTHES-GLENLIVET 2009 9 YEARS OLD 65.3%VOL – 70CL – SMALL BATCH 3 X HOGSHEADS

Only one bottle per order at this time 

One of the highest ABV’s we have had since the 1990’s, the high ABV is not a barrier to the superb taste profile of this single malt. 

NOSE: Vanilla, golden syrup and hints of nougat and chocolate sprinkles. Faint green tea notes with butterscotch.

PALATE: Lemon drizzle cake, touches of white pepper, freshly mown grass, autumnal forests with blackberries and raisin butter.

FINISH: Tingling spices give way to warm toffee sauce and cranberries.

A great dram on its own or with a dash of water or in a cocktail due to its rich complexity.                                                                         (LTP) A big hit on the palate even more then expected with the nose but so drinkable all the same. 

Its a classic Speyside for sure and even better given this is a Glenrothes, We did not expect that!!                                                               Very toffee and citrus at the same time might work with a drop of water but let this one open in the glass for say 10 -20 mins its fine to go it alone.
