More questions

The Glenrothes 1987 33 yo Single Cask #9031 represents a true jewel of the Scottish industry, nestled in the traditional Speyside region, famous for its smooth and refined whiskies. Obtained from a single cask, this distillate offers a deep and complex experience, the result of maturation that harmonized the richness of barley malt with the preciousness of the wood that hosted it for more than three decades.

The aromatic profile of this whisky is vast and enveloping: on the nose, notes of ripe fruit, golden honey, vanilla, and slight spicy hints emerge, intertwined with elegant scents of oak and sweet tobacco. On the palate, the velvety structure reveals layers of dried fruit, candied citrus, and a touch of burnt caramel, all accompanied by a long, warm, and satisfying finish.

Ideal for those who wish to savor a mature single malt, this Glenrothes invites a moment of contemplation and slow pleasure. Perfect to enjoy neat, it also pairs well with dark chocolate-based desserts or aged cheeses, enhancing their intensity without compromising balance.

The story
Production at the Glenrothes site dates back to the late 19th century (distilling activity around 1878–1879). During the 20th century the distillery underwent several changes of ownership and operational phases; the brand and management were reorganised (including periods involving Highland Distillers/Edrington and a phase when the brand was owned by Berry Bros & Rudd). In 2017 the brand The Glenrothes was reunited with the distillery under Edrington ownership, which currently oversees the brand.
Distillation
Slow distillation at reduced flow with tall stills to maximise copper contact and produce a bright, fruity, refined new‑make spirit.
Ageing
Maturation mainly in sherry‑seasoned casks commissioned to specification by the producer; precise ageing management to balance spirit and wood notes.
