Where most of The Glenrothes range leans on sherry-seasoned oak, this expression is matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon casks for the full 14 years, bottled at a generous 45.7% ABV with natural colour. The result is an elegant, fruit-forward malt built on sweet coconut, vanilla and fresh pear. This 700mL bottle is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.7% (91.4 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e First-fill ex-bourbon casks only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural, from the cask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Glenrothes has been distilling in the town of Rothes, in the heart of Speyside, since 1879, and for most of that history its spirit was prized quietly by blenders before the distillery stepped forward with single malts of its own. Sherry-seasoned oak defines much of the house style, which is exactly what makes this release stand out: the 14 Year Old Bourbon Cask is matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon casks from start to finish. Fourteen years in American oak lets the distillery's naturally fruity, elegant new-make spirit take the lead, with the cask adding sweetness and softness rather than weight.

Around that core, the first-fill bourbon casks bring honey, baked apple and soft malt, with a gentle spice that builds slowly rather than bites. The higher bottling strength of 45.7% gives the palate real texture, and the finish lingers on vanilla, coconut and ripe orchard fruit. It is a bright, generous Speyside malt that sits comfortably alongside the other age-stated releases in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.delmesaliquor.com\/collections\/scotch-whisky\"\u003eScotch whisky\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour it neat in a tulip glass and give it a few minutes to open; a few drops of water will coax out more of the pear and honey. It also makes a refined Rob Roy, the Scotch answer to a Manhattan, with sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters. However you take it, this is a single malt worth slowing down for.
