Discovery Glenrothes 11YO

Gordon & MacPhail is a historic Scottish whisky company founded in 1895 in Elgin and is widely regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious independent bottlers of Scotch whisky, known for sourcing spirit from many distilleries, maturing it in their own casks for long periods, and releasing rare and highly sought-after single malts that often don’t appear in official distillery ranges.

Discovery is an approachable range designed to explore Scotch whisky styles. Discovery bottlings focus on flavor profiles such as bourbon-matured, sherry-matured, or smoky whiskies, offering an easy introduction to different cask types and regions at an accessible price point.

Bright and inviting with a sherry‑led profile, this 11‑year‑old Glenrothes opens on the nose with zesty Seville orange, cinnamon spice and stewed red berries woven with milk chocolate and rich toffee; the palate is creamy yet lively, offering dark forest fruits, cracked black pepper and orange marmalade, backed by toasted oak and warming spice, while the finish is long and satisfying, lingering on chocolate, citrus peel and a hint of roasted walnut—a beautifully balanced, fruit‑forward Speyside dram with classic sherry influence.
