The Glenrothes 42 Years Old

An unexpected celebration of time and character, The Glenrothes 42 Years Old is a rare single malt shaped by over four decades of quiet maturation in hand-selected sherry-seasoned oak casks. Patiently nurtured within the walls of the Rothes distillery, this exceptional release embodies the depth, richness, and elegance that only time can bestow—an extraordinary harmony of fruit, oak, and spice.

Crafted as a tribute to heritage and endurance, The Glenrothes 42 Years Old is both a reflection of the distillery’s storied past and a symbol of its timeless artistry—an indulgence reserved for life’s most remarkable moments.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Rich and complex. Aromas of dried fig, sultana, and apricot intertwine with polished oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Subtle hints of roasted hazelnut, chocolate, and orange peel emerge with warmth.

Palate: Luxurious and layered. Notes of dark fruit compote, plum, and black cherry evolve into honeycomb, treacle, and toasted almond. Sherry sweetness melds seamlessly with warming spice and a silky oak structure.

Finish: Long and elegant. Lingering waves of dried fruit, cocoa, and gentle spice fade into soft oak and a whisper of smoke, leaving a lasting impression of refinement.

The Glenrothes 42 Years Old is not simply a whisky—it is a timeless masterpiece. A rare expression of patience, tradition, and craftsmanship, created for those who seek to celebrate the extraordinary passage of time.
