“The Glenrothes distillery is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in the town of Rothes in the Speyside region of Scotland. The distillery sits beside the Burn of Rothes, in a glen on the edge of the town.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 30.403 means cask 403 from distillery 30. That distillery is Glenrothes, in Speyside. More on Glenrothes at Wikipedia.
