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 unusually slow distillation process in tall copper pot stills deliver a characteristic sweet, fruity and elegant spirit. Further flavours are derived from our 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.
A superb whisky in this price range and a great start should you be looking to try Glenrothes for the first time. This 10 years old comes from the Soleo collection of whiskies by Glenrothes. This is named for the sun-drying process for grapes that are destined to become sherry in Jerez. A 10 year old age statement matured solely in sherry casks and boasting a 40% abv alcohol strength. A simply stunning early afternoon whisky.
