GLENROTHES SINGLE MALT 15 YR

The hazelnut praline note is spot-on—rich and nutty without being sweet. Pairs beautifully with a dark chocolate dessert. Exactly what I was hoping for from a 15-year.

That dark brown sugar and candied orange peel combo is exactly what I get in every pour, and the maple syrup note lingers beautifully on the finish. It's smooth enough to sip neat after dinner, and the bright spice keeps it from ever feeling heavy.

The hazelnut praline note hits first, followed by just enough orange peel to keep it interesting. I normally don't go for sweet whiskies, but this one balances beautifully without being cloying. A solid daily sipper that feels more complex than 15 years should.
