Description

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.
