Connoisseurs Choice 1997
from Glenrothes Distillery (cask strength)
Created in 1968 by whisky visionary, George Urquhart, over the years this range has featured single malts from almost 100 Scottish distilleries. Comprising more than 2,000 individual bottlings, each Connoisseurs Choice tells its life story through its label: cask type, bottling date, strength, vintage and tasting note.
Nose
STEWED RED BERRIES complement CINNAMON and roasted HAZELNUTS. VANILLA FUDGE leads to dried BANANA and subtle COCOA POWDER.
Taste
RASPBERRY COMPOTE intertwines with MEDJOOL DATES and AUTUMNAL SPICE. ORANGE ZEST develops, accompanied by mature OAK.
Finish
Medium-bodied with lingering CITRUS and COFFEE BEAN.
