Description Description Released to US markets in April 2016, The Glenrothes Peated Cask Reserve is the newest addition to N/A the Speyside distillery's Reserve Collection. This no-age-statement single malt was created by selecting and marrying 1992 Vintage casks, before finishing in used casks sourced from the peaty Tasting Notes region of Islay (therefore, it's not exactly a peated whisky per se, but a non-peated Scotch that spent a N/A few months in casks that held peated whisky).

Tasting Notes Cask Type The peaty flavors provide only a small backdrop to the rest of the whisky, and try to elbow their way in Oak without much success. It's also missing the toee richness that Glenrothes is known for. There's a fair amount of vanilla and orange rind in the midpalate, and some bittersweet chocolate and salty nuts.
