The Glenrothes Robur Reserve is a unique offering from the renowned Glenrothes Distillery in the Speyside region. Bottled in 2008, this exquisite whisky comes in a generous 1000 ml size and boasts an ABV of 40%. The essence of this whisky lies in its maturation process, which involves a notable combination of Quercus Alba (American Oak) and Quercus Robur (European or Spanish Oak). These casks are among the most expensive, grown in Northern Spain, and are seasoned with Oloroso Sherry in Jerez. Glenrothes Robur Reserve derives its name from the Spanish Oak casks and is a delightful travel retail exclusive. The whisky showcases a balanced profile thanks to the good proportion of first-fill Oloroso sherry casks used in its aging process. While it may be considered a fantastic entry-level whisky, it manages to keep the connoisseur engaged with its evolving flavors and aromas.
