The Glenrothes Description
In an artistic collaboration with The New Yorker illustrator Maddie Dai, The Glenrothes unleashes a rare, limited single malt, including a first-of-its-kind NFT providing access to exclusive, real-world experiences.
With only 168 bottles available, you'll own a whisky experience like no other. Look beyond the bottle and be transported with an enchanting NFT featuring artwork that melds the iconic worlds of Scotland and New York City, as imagined by artist Maddie Dai. Plus, you’ll have the unique opportunity to attend real-life experiences across the globe, including exclusive access to tour The Glenrothes distillery (traditionally closed to the public).
Like all Glenrothes Exclusive Single Cask releases, The Glenrothes 36 Year Old aged patiently at the distillery's on-site cooperage in a sherry-seasoned refill hogshead cask. The result is a delicate, balanced experience of orange zest and vanilla sweetness, light oak, and gentle spice.
Immerse yourself in The Glenrothes world and celebrate the future of art collecting.
Whisky Advocate
This limited-edition Glenrothes was matured in a single, sherry-seasoned hogshead. The cask was bottled in January 2015. The Glenrothes was purchased in 2017 by Edrington, which also owns The Macallan and Highland Park, and has since undergone a full revamp, including a move from vintages to age statements in 2018.
Due to Scotland’s steady, temperate climate, the ABV of whiskies aging there will decline over time, meaning these older stocks need to be closely monitored lest they dip below 40% and can no longer legally be considered whisky. In the case of this single cask, master whisky maker Gordon Motion determined the profile to be so special so that it warranted a special release. Pushing this cask further toward 40 years could have resulted in a change in both ABV and flavor that may have required it to be used as part of a wider vatting.
