Established by the burn of Rothes in Speyside in 1879, The Glenrothes distillery has been producing its characteristic Speyside Single Malt for over 130 years. The maturity of The Glenrothes is determined not by age, but by Vintage, resulting in some memorable moments, captured forever in specific expressions of this remarkable spirit.
The Glenrothes is an award winning Speyside single malt whisky of exceptional quality. A combination of many factors including an unusually slow distillation process in tall copper pot stills which delivers a characteristic sweet, fruity and elegant spirit. Further flavours are derived from the extensive knowledge of maturation in oak casks. Each expression has its own unique personality, underpinned by the distinctive, hallmark characteristics of the distillery – ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and an exquisite spicy finish all encased in the creamiest of textures and with a complex and well-poised balance.
This independent bottle by Signatory has been matured in a Hogshead Barrel (large bourbon barrel) for 25 years. Of the 33 whiskies from Signatory we have tasted over the past three months, this was our favourite.
