The Glenrothes Bourbon Cask Reserve

Speyside Spectacle with a Bourbon soul.

The tiny town of Rothes by the River Spey is home to four distilleries and has Scotch embedded in its DNA. One of those Whisky-making establishments is the Glenrothes Distillery (its name is literally “the valley of Rothes”), with history dating back to 1879. With ancient recipes and tradition by their side, they have been making award-winning Whiskies for decades.

One of their blockbusters is the Bourbon Cask Reserve, a certified Kosher expression aged in ex-Bourbon American oak casks. Made from Scottish barley and distilled in copper-pot stills, using the purest water of two nearby springs, this particular Single Malt is a breathtaking concoction that won two gold medals at the 2016 WSWA Tasting Competition. With abundant notes of coconut and vanilla, it’s a perfect warm shelter from the mad rapid flow of modern life. Take it slow and neat.
