The Glenrothes traditionally bottle single malts from specific vintages, so this no-age-statement example raised a few eyebrows when it first appeared. However, the only thing recent batches have raised is the bar – this is tremendous easy-drinking Speyside.

Bottled at 43% ABV

Nose: American oak, vanilla and coconut, hint of plums.

Palate: Full malty flavour, medium sweet, vanilla and orange zest

Finish: Long and slightly spicy.
