About
Details

A moment captured forever in a bottle.

The Glenrothes distillery was founded in 1879 by the burn of Rothes in Speyside. The distillery is interesting because it determines the maturity of their expressions by the vintage, not the age. This means they bottle vintages by year, rather than mixing expressions by several years. As a collector, this allows you to enjoy and appreciate each vintage for what it is, a moment captured forever in a bottle.

Glenrothes Vintage 1998 replaces the 1994 vintage as their core expression. It’s been noted by the master distiller as the Conversation Dram - perfect for an evening with kindred spirits.
