Glenrothes by Cask Share Collective Series (Cask 6049) 42.2% ABV 700ml

Cask Share bottles rare and exceptional single malt whiskies. They are independent bottlers, focused exclusively on single-cask expressions hand-selected for quality, bottled at cask strength, and released in limited numbers. Following its acquisition in 2024 by R&B Distillers (owners of the Isle of Raasay distillery), Cask Share now benefits from the oversight of Master Distiller Alasdair Day. His vast experience as Head of Whisky guides the selection process, ensuring every bottle meets the highest standards of character and authenticity.

An exceptionally rare and aged Speyside single malt, this Glenrothes 1992 vintage spent a remarkable 31 years maturing in a First Fill Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask (Cask# 6049) before being bottled for the Caskshare Collective Series in 2023. Bottled at its natural Cask Strength of 42.2% ABV, this whisky is a masterclass in sherry maturation. With a tiny yield of only 50 bottles drawn from this cask, this is a highly coveted collector's piece.

The flavour profile is deep, complex, and luxurious: the nose carries notes of gingersnap and juicy raisins, which transition on the palate to a rich blend of plums, sultanas, and dried cherries, balanced by a hint of burnt citrus. The finish delivers a decadent note of caramel and vanilla.
