Glenrothes Vintage 1988 Second Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished Speyside expression that showcases the remarkable depth and elegance of extended sherry cask maturation. Originally distilled in 1988, a portion of this vintage was held back when the first edition was released in 2009, allowing additional years of maturation before the Second Edition was introduced. Carefully selected from first-fill American oak sherry hogsheads and refill sherry butts, this exceptional single malt delivers a rich, complex profile of dried fruits, dark honey, warming spices and creamy vanilla. Bottled at 44.1% ABV, it offers a refined and beautifully layered interpretation of Glenrothes' vintage whisky tradition.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, fruitcake, toasted hazelnuts, aged Gouda, caramelized figs and spiced shortbread. Its rich sherry-influenced character also complements roasted nuts, dried fruit desserts and crème brûlée.
Tasting Notes: A richly textured Speyside single malt showcasing dark honey, dried fruits, nutmeg, fruitcake and roasted nuts. Creamy vanilla and gentle oak spice bring balance and depth to its elegant sherry-matured character.
Nose: Inviting aromas of nutmeg, fruitcake, roasted nuts and dark honey mingle with delicate notes of dried fruit and aromatic spice.
Palate: Rich and rounded, revealing fruitcake, nutmeg and sweet honey alongside a generous layer of creamy vanilla.
Finish: Full and lingering, with dried fruits and warming spice gradually fading into a satisfying, elegant conclusion.
