Birthday Drams – The Glenrothes Elders’ Reserve 18 year 43%

Posted on August 30, 2021 by Carissa Hickling
Reply

Many years ago I sampled a bottle of Glenrothes. I found it a rich, robust, heavy sherry whisky… not a daily dram but something for a special evening. Think oversized leather chairs, dusty library, glass in one hand with a … Continue reading →

Minis – Glenrothes (1992) Lustau Sherry 55.3%

We all have certain distilleries we know and love. And others that past experiences influence perceptions – understandably. For my tasting companion, Glenrothes has been more of a disappointment than reward. Whereas for me – I’ve had more positives than … Continue reading →

Our first sherry dram from the La Maison du Whisky’s Artist Series 8 was from The Glen Rothes distillery. Even our wee nip at Whisky Live Singapore 2018 was enough to establish this as a solid sherry specimen in a beautiful bottle … Continue reading →

LMdW Artist #8 Sherry – The GlenRothes, Ben Nevis, Bowmore, Glenlivet, Bunnahabhain

Posted on February 1, 2019 by Carissa Hickling

La Maison du Whisky’s Artist Series 8 has two distinctly different ranges… this one is all about the Sherry with the most gorgeous labels created by Japanese artist Takehiko Sugawara. While we followed the suggested order alternating between non-sherry and sherry, I … Continue reading →

The Glenrothes 21 year Minister’s Reserve 43%

Posted on October 10, 2018 by Carissa Hickling
Reply

The Glenrothes is one of those distilleries that you know what you are likely to get – strong sherry influence, robust and full. It is what one of our samplers called a “Ronseal” after a well-known UK ad for varnish … Continue reading →

21 years – Aberfeldy, The Glenrothes, Highland Park 1991

Posted on September 29, 2018 by Carissa Hickling
Reply

Sometimes you just want to go classic, returning to the days of age statements… or at least an aged dram known by vintage! That is exactly what we did with our evening trio of “21s” – each whisky was matured … Continue reading →

North Star Discovery – Glenrothes, Ardmore + Islay

Posted on July 4, 2018 by Carissa Hickling

There is something so fabulous about being truly surprised. Which is why our original Mumbai tasting group keeps to its habit of tasting blind. Sometimes we reveal each whisky immediately after tasting, other times we wait until we have sampled … Continue reading →

The whisky that ruled our Whisky Ladies “Contributors Choice” evening was The Glenrothes … A speyside distillery known for its rich, complex vintages. For some of our whisky ladies this was an introduction, for others a welcome opportunity to revisit a … Continue reading →
