The Glenrothes Whisky Maker's Cut Single Malt

品香：先是濃郁的雪利桶氣息，李子、葡乾混合奶巧克力與新皮革的沉穩香調。入口圓潤且順滑，帶有中等甜度的雪利風味、香草與黑醋栗的果感，還有像黑糖蜜（treacle）般的厚實甜韻。尾韻悠長，黑莓與黑胡椒慢慢帶出些許木香與辛香。生產與釀製：由位於斯貝賽的格蘭路思蒸餾廠出品，主釀師Laura Rampling掌舵，採用雪利酒桶熟成以強化果乾與焦糖風味，裝瓶酒精度接近48%，保留了豐富層次。田園與環境：蒸餾廠座落於Rothes山谷，溫和氣候與周邊農田為原料品質打下基礎。飲用建議：開瓶後靜置約20分鐘讓香氣展開，口感更為圓潤。配餐上，與黑巧克力、熟成起司或煙燻/烤肉都能互相提味。

Tasting Note: The Glenrothes 'Whisky Maker's Cut' opens with a rich, sherry-influenced bouquet of plums and sultanas framed by milk chocolate and a hint of new leather. On the palate it is silky and luxurious — medium-sweet sherry, vanilla, ripe blackcurrant and treacle combine into a full, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long, showing dark berries, a gentle oak spice and black pepper. Producer Notes: Crafted by The Glenrothes in Speyside under Master Distiller Laura Rampling and owned by the Edrington Group, this expression highlights the distillery's sherried style. Winemaking / Distilling Notes: Matured predominantly in sherry casks to concentrate dried-fruit and caramelised sugar notes, bottled at a robust 48–48.8% ABV to preserve flavour intensity. Vineyard / Region Notes: From the Rothes valley in Speyside, the distillery benefits from the region's temperate climate and local barley supplies that underpin its classic fruity, rounded character. Best enjoyed with a short rest in the glass (about 20 minutes) to open up its layers.
