About The Glenrothes

Quietly and without compromise, The Glenrothes distillery has been creating some of Speyside's finest single malt for more than 140 years.

What began in 1879 continues in much the same way to this day: fine, artisanal Scotch whisky made with pride, passion and, above all, expert craft.

Our People

Our luxuriously unique spirit is crafted at the hands of our exceptionally knowledgeable team, whose love for authentic yet progressive whisky making is unwavering.

Our Distillery

Our whisky takes pride in only being known by those who seek to find it. And the same is undoubtedly true of our Speyside estate, which lies in the heart of Rothes, without a visitors’ centre or even a road sign.
