Description:

Glenrothes 1998 Single Malt Whisky is a limited edition single malt whisky from the Glenrothes distillery in Scotland. The whisky is made from 100% malted barley, which is grown and malted in Scotland. The whisky is distilled in copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of 21 years in oak barrels, which gives the whisky its rich and complex flavor profile. The whisky is named after the year it was distilled, 1998.

The Glenrothes 1998 Single Malt Whisky is a full-bodied whisky with a rich amber color. On the nose, it has a complex aroma of fruit, spice, and vanilla, with a hint of smoke. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced with flavors of ripe fruits, toffee, and spices. The finish is long and warming, with notes of vanilla and spice.

The whisky is bottled at a cask strength of 54.1% alcohol by volume, which allows the flavors to come through more clearly. This also gives the whisky a higher alcohol content than the standard 40% alcohol by volume. The whisky is non-chill filtered, which preserves the natural oils and flavors of the whisky.
