Glenrothes 1969-2010 Gordon & MacPhail The MacPhail's CollectionSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl 43% A 1969 Glenrothes bottled at 43% in 2010 by Gordon & MacPhail for their MacPhail's Collection after at least 40 years maturing in fresh sherry casks. Long aged Glenrothes is rare nowadays which is a shame because like so many great Speysiders it ages beautifully. This G&M MacPhail's Collection Glenrothes 1969 is a pretty spellbinding example of perfect sherry maturation.
