Located in the town of Rothes in Scotland's Speyside region, The Glenrothes has been renowned since its founding in 1879 for its unique distillery spirit and commitment to quality. Situated by the Burn of Rothes, the pure water source provides the delicate and clean foundation for its whisky.
The Glenrothes 18 Years Old belongs to the brand's 'Soleo Collection'. The term Soleo originates from the traditional sun-drying process of grapes in the Jerez region of Spain, symbolizing the winemaker's tribute to sherry cask craftsmanship. Unlike many distilleries that use mixed casks, this 18-year-old expression is exclusively matured in high-quality sherry-seasoned oak casks. While this approach is significantly more costly, it imparts the whisky with a captivating amber hue, deep dried fruit aromas, and a creamy texture rare in Speyside whiskies.
The distillery's uniquely shaped stills with slender necks help capture lighter, floral alcohol vapors. This is why Glenrothes maintains an elegant balance even after long maturation, avoiding being overwhelmed by heavy woody notes and perfectly interpreting the refined style brought by 'slow distillation'.
