Some More Scotch to Keep you Warm

With five expressions, each unique in character and personality, the Johnnie Walker family proves that there’s something for everyone. The blended scotch collection consists of the Red, Black, Green, Gold and Blue Labels, with the latter being the eldest (aged 30 – 50 years) and consequently the most rare and most expensive.

Best places in Chicago for Scotch:
Sable at the Hotel Palomar for The Glenrothes collection
Maggiano’s pours all labels within the Johnnie Walker family
Duke of Perth for The Classic Malts lines of Single Malt Scotches
Gibson’s for Macallan Single Malt and The Glenlivet Single Malt

Lovely for Fall

The Glenrothes, one of only three Speyside Malts to hold ‘top class’ status recently introduced three new single malt scotch expressions that have aficionados going gaga. The Glenrothes Alba Reserve, the first certified kosher expression from the distillery, is matured in American oak refill bourbon casks, which produces a rich, sweet single malt. The Glenrothes Vintage 1998 has hints of cinnamon and results in an expression that’s smooth on the palate. The Glenrothes Vintage 1994 was released to complement the wildly successful Vintage 1991 which – as anticipated – will soon be unavailable. It’s the most stimulating and uplifting expression from the Glenrothes family and is the ultimate post-dinner drink.

How is one to get the best out of the Glenrothes vintages? “Enjoy each expression neat,” says Nathalie Phillips, The Glenrothes Brand Manager. “I like to add a few drops of water which opens up the aromas and nuances.”
