Originally sold as \u003cstrong\u003eThe Glenrothes Alba Reserve\u003c\/strong\u003e, it was renamed Bourbon Cask Reserve around 2015. The whisky is matured exclusively in American oak bourbon casks, creating a lighter, brighter and more vanilla-driven Glenrothes than the distillery's traditional sherry-influenced releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose offers \u003cstrong\u003evanilla, fresh coconut, citrus and almond\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by apple and pear. On the palate it is soft and approachable, with vanilla cream, toffee, orchard fruit, grapefruit and tropical-fruit accents. The finish is gently sweet, with lingering vanilla, citrus and light oak. Whisky Advocate scored it \u003cstrong\u003e85 points\u003c\/strong\u003e, highlighting almond cream, lemon curd, coconut, kumquat, apple, pear and toffee. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCask \/ Aging Program\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is really the defining feature of the expression. Bourbon Cask Reserve is matured \u003cstrong\u003eexclusively in American oak bourbon-seasoned casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, using both \u003cstrong\u003efirst-fill\/fresh and refill barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is no sherry-cask component and no secondary finish. That makes it something of an outlier in the Glenrothes range and accounts for its distinctly pale, vanilla-and-coconut-forward style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth noting that Bourbon Cask Reserve is \u003cstrong\u003eno longer part of Glenrothes' current core lineup\u003c\/strong\u003e, although bottles remain available in the U.S. market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Glenrothes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask Program:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e100% American oak bourbon casks\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh\/first-fill \u0026amp; refill bourbon casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSherry Casks:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNone\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40%\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e80\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormer Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenrothes Alba Reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKosher:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYes \/ certified kosher\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Glenrothes","offers":[{"title":"750","offer_id":47958883401833,"sku":"087229176020","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/2188\/files\/glenrothes-bourbon-reserve.jpg?v=1787870571","url":"https:\/\/vintagekosher.com\/products\/glenrothes-bourbon-cask-reserve","provider":"Vintage Kosher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
