The Glenrothes 1966 cask 1437
db (87) n24 rich, heady toffee apple and demerara
pot still rum, beautifully clean with fruity red liquorice candy;

the harder, more bitter grip; f21 more liquorice and
molassed sugar and the malt snaps and snarls at themarginally
sappy, salty oak; b21 really lovely stuff, but the oak
punishes just a little too hard for this to be a true classic.

Glenrothes single cask 1966 and 1967
Forgive me for not being able to tear myself away from the
company hymn book for a moment – Berry Bros & Rudd happens to
own the brand – but it is a red letter day when The Glenrothes
releases a new vintage and especially when the whisky is far
rarer than any previous offerings.
The announced 1966 and 1967 single casks of this perilously
drinkable Speysider fulfil all of the requisites of a strong
collector’s edition, namely, very limited quantities available,
numbered bottles, great packaging and contents tempting enough
that the number of bottles released will most probably decline
with fair rapidity.
Price guide: There are two casks from each vintage available,
the 1966 malts costing around £900 per bottle and the 1967’s at
£700.
Full tasting notes are available in Issue 30 of Whisky Magazine
(Page 21).
