Description
This whisky is brought to us by independent bottlers of sherry finished whiskies; Darkness- owned by Atom Brands, the team behind That Boutique-y Whisky Company and Master of Malt.

With this expression, Darkness has taken the mighty Glenrothes spirit, aged for 14 years and then given it a final 3+ month evolution in hand coopered, fresh, first-fill Oloroso sherry cask octaves before bottling at a robust 61.3% ABV. These smaller 64L vessels allow for a greater conversation between wood and whisky creating maximum richness and depth of flavour.

Welcome to a new level of flavour intensity – Welcome to Darkness.

About Glenrothes Distillery
The Glenrothes distillery was founded in 1878 by James Stuart & Co and is located beside the Burn of Rothes in the Speyside region. Owned by Edrington, it’s the sister distillery to The Macallan and was once a well-kept secret. The whisky is often used in blended brands such as Cutty Sark and the Famous Grouse and is mainly matured in Spanish ex-Sherry casks, and some ex-Bourbon casks as well as featuring in independent bottlings.
