Glenrothes

Over the years, Glenrothes has gained recognition for its commitment to traditional methods and craftsmanship. Unlike many other distilleries, Glenrothes releases its whiskies based on maturity rather than age statements, with each expression carefully selected to showcase the unique flavor profile of the whisky. This approach has contributed to the distinct character and consistency of Glenrothes whiskies.
