This limited release from Duncan Taylor comes from the 2013 vintage of the Glenrothes distillery and was bottled in 2024. With a cask content of only 819 bottles, the whisky is presented in a typically simple tube. The maturation took place exclusively in oak casks, which gives the distillate its characteristic depth. Not chill-filtered and without the addition of coloring, the original character of the Speyside malt is preserved.
Listed price is based on available stock selling price from verified retail stores (not including tax and shipping).

The creamy vanilla and caramel give the fruit a softer edge, while the dry, warming oak spice keeps it from feeling too sweet. Soft oak on the finish is a welcome detail, and the long finish adds staying power.
There is a lot going on here, but the fruit and oak spice give it a clear shape: ripe apple and pear, then cinnamon and dry oak through the finish. The sweet fruit and caramel sound appealing, though the full-bodied, spicy side may be more than I’d reach for often.
