The First Editions Glenrothes is a single-cask Speyside single malt, distilled in 1997 at The Glenrothes Distillery and bottled by Hunter Laing as part of its First Editions collection. It matured for 23 years in a refill hogshead and was bottled in 2021 at a natural cask strength of 48.8%, yielding 247 bottles. It has no added colouring and is not chill-filtered.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
