Read More About the Brand
The Glenrothes is located in the town of Rothes in the Speyside region of Scotland. Since its founding in 1879, it has been known for its unique distillery spirit and commitment to quality. The distillery sits by the Burn of Rothes, utilizing pure water that forms the clean, delicate base of its whisky.
The Glenrothes 18 Year Old belongs to the brand's 'Soleo Collection'. The term Soleo originates from the traditional grape sun-drying process in the Jerez region of Spain, symbolizing the distillers' tribute to the art of sherry cask maturation. Unlike many distilleries that use mixed casks, this 18 Year Old expression is exclusively matured in high-quality Sherry Seasoned oak casks. While this practice is costly, it imparts the whisky with a captivating amber hue, deep dried fruit aromas, and a creamy texture rarely found in Speyside whiskies.
The distillery's uniquely shaped, tall-necked stills help capture lighter, floral-toned spirit vapor. This is why Glenrothes, even after prolonged aging, maintains an elegant balance, never overwhelmed by heavy wood flavors, perfectly interpreting the delicate style brought by 'slow distillation'.
