Speyside, Scotland
Award Winning Whisky
Gold – International Spirits Challenge 2020
The Glenrothes 12 Year Old is an approachable Speyside single malt that highlights the distillery's signature style of elegant fruit character and sherry cask maturation. Crafted using carefully selected oak casks, it offers a balanced introduction to the Glenrothes range while retaining the depth and complexity for which the distillery is renowned.
Matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks for a minimum of 12 years, this expression develops layers of ripe orchard fruit, vanilla and gentle spice, complemented by the rich influence of seasoned oak. The distillery's philosophy of allowing maturation to dictate character rather than relying on heavy wood influence results in a whisky that is both vibrant and refined.
Bottled at 40% ABV in its natural colour, the Glenrothes 12 Year Old is an excellent everyday dram that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned whisky enthusiasts. Its combination of fruit-forward spirit, subtle sweetness and classic Speyside elegance makes it one of the cornerstone expressions in the Glenrothes portfolio.
