Glenrothes Amontillado Sherry Octave Finish 13 Years 2011/2024

This 13-year-old Glenrothes was bottled exclusively for the German market and is part of the benchmark series from the independent bottler Murray McDavid, who is based in Speyside at the Coleburn distillery. He bottles a wide variety of single malts, grains and blends in his various series. In the Benchmark series, whiskies are matured in selected casks. This single malt, for example, was finished in an Amontillado Sherry Octave cask. Octave casks are significantly smaller than normal casks, which means that the distillate has more contact with the wood and therefore matures more intensively. The bottle is designed with a thicker glass base and a high-quality wooden grip cork. The elegant packaging and label of this bottling shines in a fresh colour scheme of silver and green tones.
