Glenrothes is a much-loved Speyside distillery with a couple of notable claims to fame, namely that it was the keystone malt for Berry Bros & Rudd’s Cutty Sark blend from its launch in the 1920s, and in the 1990s it was the first distillery to specialise in vintage single malt releases.
Founded in 1879, Glenrothes was expanded three times between 1963 and 1989, bringing the total number of stills to ten with a hefty production capacity of over 5.5m litres per year. The spirit seems to perform best with medium to long term maturation in sherry casks.
After sporadic old vintage releases in the 1970s under Highland Distillers (later fully acquired by Edrington), Glenrothes launched a core range of vintage single malts in 1994. A string of terrific vintage releases followed, including some astonishing 1960s casks. Although the vintage range has now been dropped, Glenrothes is remarkably consistent - just about any sherried release over 15 years old is likely to be terrific whisky.
Speciality Drinks Limited (SDL) was the former parent company of spirits retailer The Whisky Exchange (TWE), and was used to distinguish between the company’s retail activities as TWE and the separate on-trade distribution business.
Speciality Drinks was also the original home of the company’s proprietary whisky and rum brands Single Malts of Scotland, Port Askaig, Elements of Islay, The Whisky Trail and Black Tot Rum. These brands were transferred by TWE’s founders to their Elixir Distillers company (also home to the recently-acquired Tormore distillery and the forthcoming Islay distillery Portintruan) prior to Pernod Ricard’s takeover of SDL/TWE in 2021.
