Berry Bros. & Rudd Spirits is
delighted to announce the release of the latest expression from award-winning
Speyside distillery, The Glenrothes.
The sherry casks used to mature The
Glenrothes are made to specification in Jerez, southern Spain, and, despite
costing approximately five times more than ex-bourbon casks (which account for
over 95% of the casks used in the Scotch whisky industry), the depth of flavour
derived from these casks makes the additional investment
worthwhile.
Until now, however, The Glenrothes
has never released an all-first-fill sherry cask
expression. Sherry Cask Reserve is matured predominantly in European oak which
delivers a greater array of flavours than the American equivalent and, in
particular, the resinous and dried fruit character underpinning the sherry top
notes.

Malt Master Gordon Motion’s flavour notes appear on the front label: “Spicy ginger, orange peel, and sherry oak”. Ronnie Cox, Brands Heritage Director, describes The Glenrothes Sherry Cask Reserve as; “The texture is deliciously creamy, a hallmark of The Glenrothes, which develops into a kaleidoscopic rainbow of soft spicy and fruity flavours on the palate, balanced in perfect harmony with lingering overtones of sherry and Spanish oak.”
