The famous Scotch whisky The Glenrothes 12 Years Old is a single malt which is born after a quality aging process in oak casks in which, previously, had contained sherry wine.
We recognize the value of deeper exploration. We know that only by looking beyond expectations can we truly experience the exceptional. And it is this mindset that has enabled us to continue to make some of the finest whiskies in the world, in a picturesque corner of Speyside, for over 140 years. Since then, we have been crafting our whiskies on four immutable pillars established by our founder:
One: our own crystal clear water. Remaining one of the few distilleries in Scotland with its own unique water sources, our precious surrounding springs provide us with every drop we need to give our whisky its pure, flawless character.
Two: our extraordinarily slow distillation, slower and more meticulous than most, we distill our liquid in tall copper stills for the time necessary to remove impurities and achieve the characteristic lighter, fruitier flavor that makes The Glenrothes incomparable.
Three: our sherry casks. Our coopers know hardwood better than anyone. They ensure that every drop of our whisky is delicately matured in carefully selected sherry-matured oak casks to produce the depth and balance of flavor that is unique to us. Our commitment to the most coveted sherry casks is based on the knowledge that only the best wood will do to make the best whisky.
Four: our natural color. Barrel aging guarantees our liquid a rich and seductive color that, to this day, remains completely natural.
