#4 Glenrothes 18 Year Old Soleo 2018

$229.99

This Glenrothes 18 Year Old is the latest addition to the distillery’s popular ‘Soleo’ range. The range was named after the process of sun-drying grapes for sherry production in Jerez, Spain, and this dram features sherry matured whisky at its core.

It starts with sweet vanilla followed up by some light citrus fruits and poached pears. Then comes the sherry with cocoa powder, rich fruits, blackberries and a little kick of spice. The finish is long and lasting and as rich as the palate. On the whole, it’s fruity and full-bodied whisky with plenty to explored. Our favourite Glenrothes release of the year thus far.
