About Glenrothes

In a glen beside the Burn of Rothes, Glenrothes ran its first spirit on 28 December 1879, the night the Tay Bridge fell. Fires in 1897, 1922 and 1962 and an explosion in 1903 gave it a turbulent youth, and each rebuild brought more stills, now ten. It keeps no visitor centre and opens only by invitation. The spirit is ripe, fruity and generous. Edrington's.
