Glenrothes to release extra-aged 1992 vintage
Speyside distillery The Glenrothes is to release a second edition of its 1992 vintage Scotch whisky which has been aged in refill casks for an additional 10 years.

The Glenrothes Vintage 1992, 2nd Edition, described as having notes of vanilla, lychee, lemon and coconut, has also been bottled at the higher strength of 44.3% abv.
The expression has been aged for an additional 10 years since its predecessor was launched in 2004 in a mixture of Sherry butts and ex-Bourbon casks.
“This edition of the Vintage 1992 is definitely an uplifting, conversational style,” said Ronnie Cox, brand heritage director at brand owner Berry Bros. & Rudd. “The original 1992 was more formal and austere; here we have a confident, but altogether more ‘come-hither’ expression.
“This edition is the first Glenrothes Vintage comprised entirely of whisky aged in refill casks, allowing the true Glenrothes character to come through.”
The Glenrothes Vintage 1992 will initially launch in the USA in October with RRP of US$249.99 before it rolls out to other markets.
The distillery released its first ever all-first-fill Sherry cask Scotch whisky in July this year.
