This 21-year-old Minister’s’ Reserve was originally released for the travel retail market in 2013 and was then discontinued. It was part of a trio of malts collectively known as the ‘Manse Brae’ Duty Free Range’ after the street on which Rothes House stands. The age of the whiskies were communicated, but not printed on the labels.
And now, the Glenrothes has presented new bottlings of the Minister’s Reserve officially labelled to be 21 years old. Made with well-matured single malt, most of which was aged in Spanish oak casks, it’s a stunning expression, packed to the hilt with sherried spices, vanilla, dark fruits and mocha.
