2004 The Glenrothes, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (48.8%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
This is a classic expression of Glenrothes Single Malt, showing the fruit and spice notes so often found here. The orchard and citrus aromas of the nose yield on the palate to sweet vanilla and oak. Orange peel makes a resurgence on the finish, rounding things off handsomely. Good for all seasons, this Speyside whisky will find favour with almost any lover of such things.

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
