The Glenrothes Manse Reserve |
The Glenrothes distillery is tucked away in the middle of the Speyside region, at the foot of the Mannoch Hills, between the small town of Rothes and the Rothes Burn. The water used in its single malts is drawn from the Ardcanny and Brauchhill springs. Established in 1879, they have survived two fires, an explosion and several rebuilds. Today they have 10 copper stills working to produce over 5 million litres of whisky every year. The Glenrothes are one of very few Scottish distilleries to still have a cooperage on-site.
