THE GLENROTHES 40 YEAR OLD

This release from Edrington is aged in sherry-seasoned and ex-bourbon oak barrels. The resulting single malt is resinous and rich in sweetness, with a spicy edge and naturally deep ruby color, the company says. With aromas of orange oil, peach, cedar wood and almond, it has flavors of sultanas, cinnamon and nutmeg, finishing with spice and oak tannins. It is the oldest release in the distillery’s 140-year history. Extremely limited. Suggested retail is $4000. AVAILABLE FROM United Liquors.
