Glenrothes 40 Year Old 2019 Limited Release

Earmarked from an early stage an ideal component in blended Scotch whiskies, Glenrothes has long been a key part of big brands such as Cutty Sark and Famous Grouse. Its relationship with the former, lead to a three decade-long association with London wine-merchants, Berry Brothers & Rudd, who first approached Highland Distillers about licensing the Glenrothes single malt brand in 1983, eventually trading the Cutty Sark blend with Edrington for full ownership of it in 2010. The distillery itself remained with Edrington through, and the two were reunited when the now hugely successful brand was returned in 2017.

A 2019 limited edition, this was the distillery's first ever 40 year old single malt, and the oldest whisky they had bottled to date.

Distilled in December 1978, this was some of the last spirit produced on the distillery's old copper stills, retired soon after. It was then matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. One of 594 bottles.
