However, I understand the need of a low strength entry level whisky, so I will just stick to some of the other Glenrothes whisky out there. The liquid is fantastic, and I can only imagine the quality of some of the casks in their warehouses (I need to get to one of their warehouses at some point!). I will give this <strong>83\/100<\/strong> (21\/21\/20\/21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review #886 (2022) This is matured only in Sherry seasoned casks.
