Over- proof whisky is notoriously highly flammable and the distillery has paid the price. Extension work began in 1896 on a second malt kiln, and an increase in stills from two to four but, before the work was finished, a fire in December 1897 caused serious damage. The distillery saw further damage with a serious explosion in 1903.

The Glenrothes is mainly matured in Sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, built to specification in Jerez, Spain. [7] Ex-Bourbon cask are also used but to a much lesser extent. The result is a multidimensional single malt range with a spectrum of flavours ranging from the delicate and fresh 10 Year Old to the rich and sophisticated 25 Year Old. [8] As with many distilleries, the 1960s boom saw an increase in capacity (here from four to six stills), and continuing optimism saw another pair being added in 1980 just as the rest of the industry was calming supply down. In 1989 it once again defied the market and upped the number to ten. The distillery was built in 1878 by James Stuart & Co, who then also worked the nearby Macallan distillery. The first whisky ran off the stills on the 28 December 1879, the same day as the Tay Bridge disaster. [10]

Date bottled:

The house style of the Glenrothes is rich, fully rounded and elegant. The whisky delivers a ripe bouquet of fruits and creamy vanilla, sometimes more spicy, sometimes more floral. [9] History [ edit ] Glenrothes' stills are expanded from four to six. Over the next 26 years the figure rises to 10 stills
