Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
In 2020, The Last Drop bottled three nearly identical casks of 1970 Glenrothes as single-cask bottlings, and if you’re fortunate enough to taste more than one, it’s a way to see that each cask of whisky has its own individual character. The ex-Bourbon barrels were numbered #10586, #10588, and #10589, and were kept together throughout their entire maturation period while intended for blending use at some point before they wound up with The Last Drop’s team.
Cask #10588 has a nose rich with orange marmalade, vanilla beans, Manuka honey, a touch of smoke, and a good maltiness. The taste – wow! Great fruity character with apricots and orange peel balanced by touches of oak tannins, vanilla beans, barley sugar, and a hint of spice that lasts through the long finish along with touches of tropical fruits and a hint of oak. Outstanding! (June, 2020)
