A lot of stuff going on. I knew about this one a week ago, but wanted to get more information on it before I posted it up.

First the good news: Glenrothes will be releasing a new vintage from the 1970s: a new 1978 vintage. This vintage follows the 1975 vintage which was my Friday’s Pick” two Fridays ago (which I rated a 93). This is the second release from 1978, the first one put on the market back in 1999. Some of these vintages from the 1970s, like the 1972,  have been outstanding.

The bad news (or should I say “sad news”?): All great things must come to an end. I am told that this is the last of the vintage releases from the 1970s.

More bad (sad?) news (for those of us in the U.S., anyway.): As is common practice with many distilleries, this vintage will be released in Europe in 2008, but will not be imported to the U.S. until 2009. In the meantime, we have the 1975 to sip and savor while stocks last.
