The distillery Glenrothes had complicated beginnings when it was launched in 1879. James Stuart, the founder of the distillery was left without investors to build the mill that had to supply water but the local Reverend got funds so that The town had work. Since then, the identity halls of James Stuart have been applied to Speyside of Glenrothes: wood and time. With these two essential elements he wanted to get a whiskey lighter and fruity than his region companions. And he got it. Glenrothes 18 years is one of the most complex and elegant whisks of the distillery. As is traditional in the process of the Glenrothes, it is aged on close-up oak barrels filled in which Jerez wines have remained. It maintains its natural color to the bottling and shows its most spicy character with vanilla and ginger doing an appearance. The aroma of orange and almonds is unmistakable and soon they are furlisted with flavors of pears and vanilla. All a sweet and spicy whiskey, with something spicy.
