Glenrothes 30 Year Old 1974

HED94041 70cl 50.2%
Glenrothes has been a coveted component in blended Scotch whiskies from its early days. Notably, it played a pivotal role in esteemed brands like Cutty Sark and Famous Grouse. A significant turning point came when London wine-merchants, Berry Brothers & Rudd, initiated a thirty-year partnership with Highland Distillers, leading to the licensing of Glenrothes single malt brand in 1983. In a strategic move, Berry Brothers & Rudd traded the Cutty Sark blend with Edrington in 2010, gaining full ownership of Glenrothes. Despite this, the distillery itself remained under Edrington`s care, culminating in a joyous reunion in 2017. This particular release is a highly sought-after 30-year-old Glenrothes from 1974.

Glenrothes

Situated in the Rothes, in the heart of Speyside, Glenrothes has been producing single malt whisky since 1879. Soft water is supplied by the river Spey and the team favour tall stills for increased reflux during the distillation. Mashing and fermentation are short compared to other distilleries, but distillation is long. The result is a fruity, complex spirit with distinct cereal notes.

European and American ex-Sherry oak is the maturation vessel of choice at Glenrothes with some use of ex-Bourbon casks. Both the core range and the single vintage bottlings have gained praise from whisky lovers and critics alike and Glenrothes continues to make a name for itself as one of Speyside's most reliable single malts.
