Every single malt from The Glenrothes captures a moment in time, inspired by the past but coming to life in the present. Every bottle defines its own part of the legacy and the story behind our distillery. But not every whisky is unrepeatable. Created over four decades, this rare and inspired single malt marks a moment in the history of The Glenrothes that can never be repeated. It belongs to a time gone by.
Maturing in cask since December 1978, The Glenrothes 40 Year Old began life in copper stills that retired soon after. The current still house continues to produce The Glenrothes spirit to the same exacting standards; but this particular whisky will never exist again. For forty years, the spirit has been quietly resting, nurturing and evolving to finally take its rightful place as part of this remarkable whisky. only 594 bottles were produced.
A jewel-bright deep ruby, bottled at natural colour. A fascinating chorus of orange oil, peach, cedar wood and almond. Boasting flavours of sultanas, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spicy, with orange peel and oak tannins.
The Glenrothes has been making whisky quietly, and without compromise, since 1879. Our rich and rounded single malt is immaculate and unchanging, handcrafted by a community of whisky makers. The Spirit of Rothes is what drives us on each day, inspiring us to keep creating our award-winning whisky. It’s an attitude, a way of life, inspired by the people who call Rothes home. Join the Spirit of Rothes today, and become part of the best kept secret in Speyside.
