The Glenrothes 15 Year Old

Founded in 1878, Glenrothes has long been valued by blenders, was unusually released in vintages as opposed to regular age statements between 1993-2018 (during a long association with Berry Bros. & Rudd), and benefits from the unparalleled sherry cask programme of Edrington (who also own The Macallan and Highland Park). Glenrothes’ casks are said to cost ten times the industry average, they’re known to run their tall stills very slowly (at a flow rate around half the speed of many other well-known distilleries), and also possibly use the softest water in the industry (from an underground volcanic spring).

The result is an elegant spirit that ages beautifully with rich, smooth, rewarding character. This relatively new 15 Year Old was first released at the end of 2024, using casks personally selected by master whisky maker Laura Rampling.
