About the distillery: Glenrothes (pronounced "Glen-roth-es") was founded in 1878 by a distiller from nearby Macallan. The Speyside whisky is most commonly used in blends such as Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse, but several independent labeling of single malt are available and since 1994, bottlings directly from the distributor.
Tasting notes: Nose is very spirity with hints of barley and citrus (spirit smell mellows with water). Caramel color and matching taste; young sweet flavor with a sharp and spicy finish. Noticeable release with a drop of water yield many more complexities of flavor.
