Limited Edition Bottle no. 198/1400
This superb whisky from Glenrothes, was named after their outgoing malt master John Ramsay, with a release of only 1400 bottles.
John Ramsey carefully selected twenty second fill American oak casks and vatted them into sherry butts to create this delicious treat. A further two were picked from there to be vatted, and reduced to 46.7% abv, providing this excellent bottling.
It's a perfect tribute, and a truly delicious Glenrothes.
Nose: Rich, spicy, blood orange marmalade and vanilla.
Palate: Superb richness, sweet full flavour with tropical notes, balanced oak and fruit, soft caramelised mango.
Finish: Long, smooth finish, mature and tactile, unmistakably American oak.
Whiskey fun has scored this Glenrothes John Ramsay Legacy 91/100 overall on their site through customer recommendations. A reviewer said it was ‘definitely not one of these round and mellow Glenrothes that one may sip in an English gentleman’s club.’
