The relationship between each individual cask, the distillate and the surrounding air brings about a marvellous alchemy; each cask yields a whisky that is slightly different from those around it. To celebrate the differences in personality between individual casks, we have therefore chosen to bottle each of these "sibling casks" separately.

This trio of whiskies comprises our third and final Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky release. The first, from 1968, was launched in 2018, and the second, from 1969 followed in 2019; this latest marks the close in a unique trilogy of remarkable Glenrothes whiskies.

Cask No. 10589: If you’ve ever had a campfire interrupted by rain, you’re familiar with the smell of smoky, wet wood. That’s the first note I get on the nose, along with vanilla, cooked bananas, a hint of sandalwood, and touches of dried fruits. The taste is fruity and vibrant on top with fresh berries and tropical fruits. A dark undertone of oak tannins and smoke balanced by gentle spices underneath makes this single malt delightfully complex. The finish is very long with gentle spices and touches of fruit and smoke. Outstanding! (96 Points)
