Glenrothes
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Glenrothes is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Rothes, within the Speyside region of Scotland, operating since 1879. The distillery is known for maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks, a philosophy evident in the Glenrothes 12 Year Sherry and carried through its extensive vintage program. That vintage-dated approach produced landmark releases including the 1975, 1979, 1985, and 1991 expressions, each bottled to reflect the character of a specific distillation year rather than a fixed age statement. The Speyside Single Malt Makers Cut represents a more recent, accessible entry point into the range, while the 1975 Vintage and the 1997 Daily Dram Poisonous Frog Series 20 Year Old represent the older and more collectible end of the catalog.
