The Glenrothes, pronounced glen- roth-iss , is named after the small town of Rothes, located along the banks of River Spey in Moray, Scotland. Renowned for producing rich, round and elegant Scotches, this distillery uses a slow distillation process to produce a light and fruity distillate, which is then aged in sherry-seasoned European and American oak barrels. The resulting house style of The Glenrothes is rich, rounded and pleasantly fruity. The whisky delivers a ripe bouquet of melons, vanilla and cinnamon spice. Just a mile down the road, Glen Grant distillery was opened almost four decades before The Glenrothes and thus probably should have been called Glen Rothes (due to it also being located in Rothes). However, founders and brothers John and James Grant decided to use their surname as the distillery’s namesake. Taking this approach to naming is surprisingly uncommon—Glen Grant is the only remaining single malt Scotch distillery to bear its founders’ names. Second generation owner, James “The Major” Grant (son of founder James Grant), truly defined Glen Grant’s style by introducing tall, slender pot stills and purifiers, resulting in a house style that’s light, delicate and floral. Life may be full of peaks and valleys, but these Glen Scotches are a type of valley we can all look forward to.
