Glenrothes 1976 Single Cask #2682 & #2685 Brothers Casks 2 x 70cl

Hidden in a tree-lined gorge, the Glenrothes distillery is nestled in the core of the Speyside region, a stone’s throw from the Burn of Rothes and the Mannoch Hills. Producing malt whiskies using exact replicas of the original 1879 pot stills, the Glenrothes hallmark is to use Scottish barley, malted in traditional Saladin boxes. The product is bottled in a characteristic, squat, bulbous vessel, complete with the Malt Master’s signature on every selection. Offering a Single Vintage, Reserve or Special Release, all marrying an individual vintage with a reserve, the Glenrothes Malts are notoriously complex in flavour.

These single cask bottlings were released in April 2018 to celebrate the careers of brothers Gordon and Alexander Tweedy who worked at the distillery for 40 Years Old.

The bottles come from a pair of near identical hogsheads laid down in 1976, and spent 39 years sitting side by side in the Glenrothes warehouse. Only 10 lucky customers were able to buy a matching numbered set.

This lot also includes 2 VIP 'Behind the Scenes' tour passes of the Glenrothes Distillery. Each pass is valid for two visitors and expires 30th April 2019.
