Hear that? Of course you don’t. That’s because this Glenrothes vintage series left everyone damn well speechless. Distilled in 1987 and bottled 12 years later, this Whisky serves up an extra kick thanks to its Sherry cask influence—a well-known aspect of Glenrothes’ gems.

You won’t find the age printed on this bottle, though. Just the year of distillation. That goes with the Glenrothes philosophy: maturity not age. That’s something we can get behind.



*This bottle is a collector's item, we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.

Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
The Berry Brothers gave Cutty Sark back to the Edrington Group, when they acquired Glenrothes.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
