This is the first bottling in Glen Grant's Rothes Chronicles series, named after its home town in Speyside and released for the Travel Retail market. Cask Haven is a full-bodied single malt drawn from a selection of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks. A great balance of vanilla and spicy sherried fruit notes to be had here.

Nose: Brandied cherries, creamy vanilla and cinnamon rolls.

Palate: Still big on the creamy vanilla notes, balanced by cassia, black pepper and ginger. Touches of lemon and lime appear later on.

Finish: Just a hint of beeswax lingers.
