Speyside Spectacle with a Bourbon soul.

The tiny town of Rothes by the River Spey is home to four distilleries and has Scotch embedded in its DNA. One of those Whisky-making establishments is the Glenrothes Distillery (its name is literally "the valley of Rothes"), with history dating back to 1879. With ancient recipes and tradition by their side, they have been making award-winning Whiskies for decades.

One of their blockbusters is the Bourbon Cask Reserve, a certified Kosher expression aged in ex-Bourbon American oak casks. Made from Scottish barley and distilled in copper-pot stills, using the purest water of two nearby springs, this particular Single Malt is a breathtaking concoction that won two gold medals at the 2016 WSWA Tasting Competition. With abundant notes of coconut and vanilla, it's a perfect warm shelter from the mad rapid flow of modern life. Take it slow and neat.

Member Reviews and Ratings of The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve
Annastasia
Annastasia,
Very light for a whisky, smooth with a hint of American bourbon punch
 
Michael
Michael,
Very smooth, very drinkable. Nice wood tone for a sometimes-bourbon drinker like me. Not a go-to or staple, but a solid showing.
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
Bitter burn the whole way through, with caramel and honey coming through. Nice long finish, but a bit too much bitterness on the palate.
 
Mark
Mark,
Great flavor profile, very smooth. Excellent dessert scotch or enjoy it in a hot tub.
 
Christopher
Christopher,
A good inexpensive dram. Not earthshaking, but light and sweet and satisfying.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Love the Bourbon notes after taste , with all the flavors in this great Speyside Single Malt, one of faves for sure. Just purchased 4 bottles for the Holidays. Cheers
 
Morgan
Morgan,
This is right up my ally. Love the taste of this as it’s not overwhelming. You get all the notes and aromas in a really exciting way.
 
Colin
Colin,
The best Speyside expression I’ve had, and I’ve had quite a few. Mild fruity nose with hints of milk chocolate. Smooth , with a deep extremely long toffee/dark chocolate finish. New fave.
 
Randy
Randy,
A second favorite at the moment.
 
Rebecca
Rebecca,
Sweet and warm
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
Light and tasty, with enough complexity to make it interesting. Nose - vanilla, honey, butterscotch candy, some coconut, light floral notes and deep barrel oak. Taste - buttery coconut and caramel, some oak spice, a bit of orange zest as well. Finish - surprisingly oily and lingering consider the lightness of the spirit, some sweet and sour notes that fade into a longer lasting spice burn.

Not too much power in this whisky, almost like diluted. Good for ladies maybe...?

Smooth and delightful. A wonderful alternative to MacCallan, being from the same area. Highly recommend this.
 
Darren
Darren,
Scotchy and bourbony. Both peat and sweet. Not bad, pretty good, not entirely sure why.
 
Brandon
Brandon,
Nice, affordable scotch. The nose is sweet with hints of fruit, bite is minimal, finish is mild to no burn and short in length. I would like to taste the fruit in the finish, but still not a bad sipper.

I love it I think it has sweet smooth taste.
 
John
John,
Mouthfeel seemed a little thin. Great aroma and I definitely picked up on some vanilla notes. I'd still choose Balvenie Double Barrel first, but i could end up buying this again sometime.
 
Brian
Brian,
I prefer bourbon, but as Scotch goes this is a good sipping spirit. Good flavor and a smooth finish.
 
Dale
Dale,

I really liked this one
 
Brian
Brian,
Not what I was hoping for. Maybe I got a bad bottle but it smelled and tasted more like turpentine than scotch.
 
Brent
Brent,
It's was good. Light with Vanilla and coconut which I barely care for. Went nice with my cigar
 
Taylor
Taylor,
An interesting dram. It leaves much to be desired but good for the price point. Vanilla and alcohol up front with some coconut sweetness on the rear.
 
Robyn
Robyn,
We loved this. It was light enough for the proverbial cocktail before dinner, and very nice as an after dinner drink. The flavor is reminiscent of bourbon, with a nice finish. A great go to Scotch
 
Gregory
Gregory,
Full flavor. Neat is the only way to get the full flavors. I notice the cocnut more than the vanilla but the orange and honey come more in the after effects. All in all the Bourbon Oak casks gove this a great taste.
 
Jasson
Jasson,
An excellent dram. I've had some of their other bottlings and wasn't entirely convinced, but this one set me straight. Delicious.
 
John
John,
A tasty bang for your buck. The vanilla is lively while the coconut is subtle. Well worth the price.
