The Glenrothes ordinarily ages their whiskies in a blend of both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. This bottling is the exception; this whisky is aged exclusively in ex-bourbon casks. The Latin name for American white oak is Quercus Alba, hence the name. Incidentally, this whisky is certified Kosher.

My first Glenrothes ever was a good one. Bottled at 40%abv with a pale staw color. On the nose it is very nice, with grape juice, butter cookies, tobacco, chocolate butterscotch notes. A little dim but very good. On the palate, main notes are oranges, orange candy, pleasant oakyness, spices, ashes, and cough syrup. Mout watering medium finish full of spices. Overall it is an 82 out of 100, a nice Whisky.
Light golden color. Long legs, coats the palate. I get some vanilla, coconut, banana and oak. Smooth, sweet, very little burn. I get some herbs and florals too. A nice dram for a chill evening that you just to sip and enjoy and is not overwhelming.
Finished the bottle tonight. I pulled out the ginger quality and has a more harsher initial sip which settles down to a smooth and easy finish. Drank most of this camping and was perfect for the fireside dram out doors!
Distinctively Glenrothes but a little lighter than the standard reserves, most likely due to the single aging cask. Very bright and very drinkable. Excellent with a splash of water.
Vanilla and ginger nose. Clear lighter color. Smooth, not harsh, but also not long lasting. Lovely if looking for something different
Not much, very smoot, light on vanilla. Good price for smooth bottle.
