Nose: A cascade of fragrant woody spices, lilting between cedar wood and cloves, with grounding notes of linseed oil and rich muscovite sugar. A hint of fragrant jasmine.

Palate: A drama of complexity. Intensely sweet and spicy, with flares of cardamom, fennel seeds and vanilla pods, while notes of cedar play throughout.

Finish: Delicate and refined. A gentle lingering of woody spices.

Distillery Information

Nestled in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside region, The Glenrothes Distillery has been crafting exceptional single malt Scotch whisky since 1879. Located in the small town of Rothes, the distillery is celebrated for its commitment to time-honored traditions, meticulous cask selection, and an unwavering focus on balance and refinement. The Glenrothes is renowned for its signature fruit-forward house style, shaped by slow distillation in tall copper stills and nurtured through patient maturation in hand-selected oak casks. Sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks play a defining role in the whisky’s character, imparting layers of dried fruit, vanilla, and spice that have become hallmarks of the brand. Unlike many distilleries, The Glenrothes has historically released whiskies by vintage year, emphasizing authenticity and traceability. Each bottling tells the story of a specific harvest and maturation journey, offering whisky enthusiasts a genuine connection to both place and time. With a legacy spanning nearly a century and a half, The Glenrothes remains a guardian of Speyside’s heritage, balancing craftsmanship with innovation. From approachable age statements to rare, long-aged treasures such as the 50 Year Old, The Glenrothes continues to embody sophistication, elegance, and the quiet power of patience.
