Douglas Laing Old & Rare Platinum Selection. Single sherry butt distilled June 1990 and bottled June 2011. Rarely do we see sherry wood expressions from Glenrothes distillery - this one should be a real treat. 154 numbered bottles. Glenrothes Glenrothes Distillery was established in the narrow valley of the Rothes Burn on the west side of Rothes in Scotland’s Speyside whisky region by James Stuart in 1878. Now one of the largest malt whisky distilleries in Scotland with eighteen washbacks, ten copper stills singing in their own mighty cathedral and a traditional pagoda roof. Glenrothes Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival and is a major contributor to the Cutty Sark and Famous Grouse blends of scotch whiskies.  It noses in a very spiced style and warms to barley with citrus - akin to a clove studded orange - whilst carrying a palate packed with sugary sweet Scotch tablet, more orange, and now some late cough drop type spices. The finish reflects the palate – though it is a little drier – still being spiced and still laced with an orange liqueur.
