Wait… The Distillery Didn’t Bottle This? Independent Bottlers Explained #Whisky #glenrothes

Ever found a whisky you absolutely love… only to discover you probably can't get your hands on it? That's the fascinating — and sometimes frustrating — world of independent bottlers. In this episode of Macca's Cask Notes, I'm tasting a Glenrothes 2013 8 Year Old Speyside Whisky from the Scotch & Tattoos TSC Family Series. And there's a catch… This was a single-cask independent bottling, which means once that particular cask is gone, that's it. You can't simply go back and buy another bottle of the same whisky. I'll also talk about independent bottlers including Signatory Vintage and The Distillers' Art, and why independent bottlings can offer whisky drinkers something you simply won't find in the standard distillery releases. We'll look at what makes independent bottlings so interesting, why the cask can make such a huge difference, and whether these one-off releases are worth hunting down. 🥃 Whisky: Glenrothes 2013 8 Year Old 🥃 Series: Scotch & Tattoos TSC Family Series 🥃 Region: Speyside 🥃 Bottling: Independent Bottling / Single Cask 🥃 Purchased from https://www.eightpm.co.nz/ Have you ever bought a whisky only to discover that you'll probably never be able to replace it?
