Tasting Notes
Without water

Nose: Initially enticing aromas of ripe black cherry and marzipan. Giving way to candied fruit and rich, creamy butterscotch undertones

Finish: A supremely well-rounded finish with gentle, enduring hints of bitter coffee and muscovado sugar.
With water added
Colour: A gorgeous rich, burnt copper
Nose: The sherry notes now really sing. Fermented sweetness of pineapple and vanilla lead to burnt toffee notes.
Palate: Caramelised crème brulé and panna cotta creaminess, leading to gentler tones of flamed orange peel and spicy clove.
Finish: An exceptionally well-rounded and accomplished finish - the toffee, vanilla and caramel notes linger.

About this single cask Glenrothes
This is a beautifully elegant and well-rounded whisky. It would pair well with a rich apple tartine, or a traditional Swiss cheese, such as Appenzeller Edel-Wurzig.
About Spiritfilled's Mythical Beast, Nyami Nyami
The sparkling blue waters of the mighty Spey wind their way through the idyllic Speyside landscape, their depths home to myriad mysteries and myths. Gliding effortlessly through deep waterways, the River God Nyami Nyami radiates benevolence, using his supernatural powers to provide sustenance for his followers, bestowing wealth and good fortune, and protecting them from dark forces in troubled times. Yet there is a poignancy about his solitude; he searches the rivers endlessly, seeking a reunion with his beloved mate. If thwarted, this powerful beast has only to shake his mighty snake-like tail to send tremors through the earth and waves crashing to the riverbank. Smooth, strong and complex, with a sting in the tail, this mythical beast leaves a lasting impression.

What about taxes?
All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.
UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.
We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well.
For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.
