The family Hentschke have been Barossa farming since 1842, they know from good soils and settle on nothing but the finest land. Keith Hentschke chose a special site along Greenock Creek, at the intersection of Gerald Roberts and Jenke Roads, near the ancient winegrowing hamlet of Seppeltsfield to plant vines in the early 1990s. They now yield vintages of the most amazing intensity, saturated with the essence of grand Barossa Shiraz, an international wine industry favourite and a sagacious selection this..

Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml 1998 CONFIRM AVAILABILITY

Scotch Whisky
Vintages of Glenrothes from the 1970s and 1980s are increasingly hard to come by. Glenrothes 1998 is one of that rare breed. Never before bottled, Vintage 1998 is matured in a combination of Spanish and American oak cask butts which have previously been seasoned by stocks of Sherry and Whisky. The combination of oak complexity and Single Malt gives the citrus notes a delicious cooked orange flavour and plenty of fruit, the latest addition to the very rare selections of the 1990s.
A Vintage is a set of casks which have been hand picked by the Malt Master from a particular year's distillation and judged to be at the peak of all possible perfection. These are rare. Vintage selections account for little more than 2% of the distillery's production capacity. Many a year, Glenrothes is as always, a top class dram, a Vintage Malt however is not released annually. Maybe there is not enough stock, or maybe the available casks do not meet the exacting standards, or maybe, the character is not sufficiently individual. Unlike Malt Whiskies that are produced in line with the age concept, each Vintage must have its own unique personality
Copper gold colour, clear and bright. Rich and spicy, ripe, dark berry fruit bouquets. A rich palate, full flavour, candied orange peel and fruit compotes. Figures of crystallised ginger, tremendous freshness for its age. The finish is very long, medium sweet. A Malt in extremely short supply, very limited quantities are ever released, another classic vintage that is slowly becoming extinct
