The Glenrothes 15 Year Old
The Glenrothes 15 Year Old - new whisky made with tradition
The Glenrothes has launched a perfect introduction to its fine range of sherried whiskies: The Glenrothes 15 Year Old.
The whisky reflects The Glenrothes way: letting quality, custom-made, sherry-seasoned oak casks from chosen bodegas in Spain gracefully age a carefully and slowly distilled whisky.
Distilling at a flow rate around half the speed of other well-known distilleries in unusually tall stills, The Glenrothes distillation process optimises copper contact to remove heavy flavour compounds, creating a bright, fruity, nuanced spirit with refined complexity.
Then the sherry-seasoned oak casks come into play. Made to the Speyside distillery’s specification, these barrels are crucial to implementing the rich, fruity house style that The Glenrothes is so respected for.
Introducing: The Glenrothes 15 Year Old
The Glenrothes 15 Year Old
The Glenrothes 15 Year Old is an archetypal Speyside single malt, rich, complex, and sherried to perfection. Aged in predominately first-fill European oak sherry-seasoned casks, The Glenrothes 15 Year Old embodies the elegance and quality of the distillery’s classic style.
The Glenrothes 15 Year Old is a showcase of this house style. Its packaging uses shades of lichen green, inspired by the natural greenery found throughout The Glenrothes Estate. This is a single malt perfect for both seasoned enthusiasts and new whisky fans seeking a refined dram.

Dark brown sugar combines with sweet baking spices.
Palate
Baked orchard fruits, hazelnut praline and dark chocolate work in harmony with crystalised ginger and orange marmalade. Hints of toasted oak and soft worn leather chime in, adding depth and complexity.
Finish
Rich. Sweet. Bright spice.
