GLENROTHES DISTILLERY Halloween Edition 2019 Presentation Pack

This was the limited edition Halloween bottling from Glenrothes Distillery in 2019! In stark contrast to the previous bottling, this time the spooky seasonal 13 Year Old is presented white frosted bottle. The whisky within has been matured in a duo of bourbon and sherry casks, treated to a finish in casks that previously held peated whisky (Laphroaig). Only 5,000 bottles were produced.

This bottle also comes with a hidden surprise. That surprise is called Near Field Communication technology (the same thing that you use to pay for things with your phone), which is embedded on each bottle to reward its owner with an exclusive hidden tasting with the Spirit of The Glenrothes. To activate the NFC content, simply hold a compatible device against the number 13 and wait for the spooky magic to happen.

This bottle is an foam filled carry case which is very unusual.

Bottled at 46.6% abv
