Description

Founded in 1878 the first whisky flowed from our stills on 28th December a year later.
An immaculate Malt Whisky, drawing its flavours from the prime barley of the Speyside region, the careful creation of the spirit and the resulting rich, mature flavour, structure and body created a ‘Class A Malt’ of choice for Master Blenders across the breadth of Scotland.

For over a hundred years The Glenrothes remained as good as a secret. But in the early 1990’s Berry Bros & Rudd Ltd. decided to create a premium quality niche in the developing Single Malt Whisky market that would rely on maturity rather than on age as the arbiter of quality.
Through our range of Reserves and Vintages, this philosophy still lies at the heart of The Glenrothes.

Here we offer a selection of our portfolio: The Glenrothes Select Reserve, Vintage 1995 and Vintage 2001.
Tasting notes below from our malt-master:
Select Reserve: Ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and hints of spice
Vintage 1995: Red fruits, butterscotch, citrus and spices
Vintage 2001: Sweet oaky vanilla, black cherries and soft spices

We are delighted to announce The Glenrothes has been awarded a quartet of gold medals at The Scotch Whisky Masters 2015. The honours include two Gold Medals for The Glenrothes Select Reserve and two Gold Medals for The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve. The Reserves are the heart of The Glenrothes range and have been created to give character, maturity and balance that deliver the best possible flavours.

The Glenrothes has been producing Speyside Single Malts since 1879. The Glenrothes's distillery is in Rothes in the heart of Speyside which is acknowledged by connoisseurs as the source of Scotland's finest single malts; indeed, it has the highest density of distilleries of any region. This is due to the unusually clement climate experienced in this area and the ample supply of soft water provided by the river Spey.

The Glenrothes is sought-after by Master Blenders across the land as a 'top dresser' for their blends, contributing an extra dimension of elegance, complexity and quality

The Glenrothes Vintage Malt is the product of one year of distillation. Unlike wine, where climate is key in determining the quality of the vintage, with Single Malts it is the quality of the wood used in the oak casks which is of greatest influence.

Once a prospective Glenrothes vintage malt has been identified, its casks are systematically checked until such time as the malt is judged to be at its best for drinking; then it is bottled.

Normally this ageing process is between 10 and 16 years after distillation, producing a malt characterised by a fruity, spicy nose and a heathery-honeyed palate. On rare occasions, this ageing process can be longer, producing classics with dried fruit character and real mellowness.
Recent Awards: The Glenrothes Vintage Reserve won a Double Gold Medal at the China Wine and Spirits Awards 'Best Value' 2015.
The Glenrothes Extraordinary Single Cask 1970 picked up the whisky industry’s highest accolade for design at the World Whisky Awards 2013.  It won first the sub-category for ‘Best Design – Limited Edition’ followed by the overall prize for ‘World’s Best Design’.
