About
A major Speyside distillery in the town of Rothes, founded in 1879. Long known primarily as a key component of The Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark blends, Glenrothes has increasingly been recognized as a premium single malt in its own right. Acquired by Edrington (owners of The Macallan) from Berry Bros & Rudd in 2017, the brand was relaunched with age-statement expressions replacing the previous vintage-dated range. Known for a rich, sherried, fruity Speyside character with notes of vanilla, orange peel, and spice. The distillery's 10 stills and 5.6M LPA capacity make it one of Speyside's larger operations. Shares the town of Rothes with Glen Grant and Speyburn. Under Edrington's stewardship, Glenrothes is being positioned as a premium sherried Speyside alongside The Macallan.
