product Details

Glenrothes 1979 16 Year Old / US Import

Earmarked from an early stage an ideal component in blended Scotch whiskies, Glenrothes has long been a key part of big brands such as Cutty Sark and Famous Grouse. Its relationship with the former, lead to a two decade-long association with London wine-merchants, Berry Brother's & Rudd, when they traded their famous blend for the rights to the Glenrothes single malt brand in 2010. The distillery itself remained with Edrington through, and the two were reunited when the now hugely successful brand was returned in 2017. This success is due in no small part to these unusual vintage releases, bottled for many years in lieu of a traditional age-stated core range.

This is the 1979 vintage, bottled in 1995. The US packaging confirms this as a 16 year old.
