Glenrothes 23 yrs Speyside Cask Strength Signatory Single Malt Scotch Whisky

It is rare to see a whisky this old from the famed Glenrothes distillery, let alone one drawn from a single cask and bottled at its natural proof.  It is even rarer to find it available at anywhere near this price.  

The nose here may remind of a Bourbon, or at least splitting the difference between Bourbon and Scotch, with oak and caramel notes riding on malt instead of corn.  The palate focuses on depth, rather than breadth, digging deep into a malt-driven profile and showing just how much there is to be explored within what malt has to offer.  But it is the finish where the flavors really expose themselves, with a robust complexity evolving over a long period.  That finish certainly takes the Glenrothes experience to the next level.
