The Glenrothes Distillery 2012 Vintage 700ml 64.26%

Raw & Untamed at 64.26% ABV

Behold The Glenrothes at a commanding 64.26% ABV. This extraordinary 12-year-old spent its entire life in a refill Pedro Ximénez hogshead, and we’re absolutely thrilled to share it with you all.

Our Black Sheep Selection

After sampling a drove of Glenrothes casks, Hogshead No: 11323 stood out as the black sheep. Moreover, the whisky ticked all our parameters to proudly fly the Truth and Consequence banner with liquid confidence.

What We Look For

We look for that moment when a whisky stops you mid-conversation. Not because it’s flat or overcooked, but because it feels inevitable. Like it was always meant to exist in exactly this form.

The Perfect Balance

We’re drawn to casks that have found their natural conclusion or have the potential to balance out the liquid for perfect synergy. As a result, this Glenrothes changes the game when compared to mainstream offerings.

Our Production Philosophy

Natural Bottling Process
Once again, we stand boldly behind our uncompromising bottling approach, to deliver yet another formidable release.  Specifically, we use only a simple 25-micron filter to catch any pieces of char or sediment from entering the bottle. That’s where we draw the line!

Cask-to-Bottle Integrity

Experience Glenrothes reimagined, Truth and Consequence style. bottled in her most natural form, straight from the cask.

Nose: Cherry cola fizzes alongside buttery toffee fudge, while honeyed Medjool dates mingle with sun-kissed summer berries and warming oak.

Palate: Satisfyingly chewy with brown sugar crystals adding to the PX sweetness. Then bright orange oil cuts through, joined by jammy plum compote that deepens with every sip.

Finish: Rich warmth spreads as dark chocolate lingers on to a Winter spice tail. The perfect ‘cool weather’ whisky around a crackling fire.

Understanding the Pedro Ximénez Difference

Pedro Ximénez sherry casks create uniquely rich whiskies. Previously, these Spanish oak vessels held intensely sweet, fortified wine. As a result, the transformation changes standard Glenrothes into something extraordinary.

The Glenrothes Distillery

Nestled in the heart of Speyside, the Glenrothes distillery stands as a testament to Scottish whisky craftsmanship. Where tradition and innovation dance together like morning mist over the River Spey. Established in 1879, the distillery sources water from two natural springs: Ardcanny and Brauchhill, located a few miles upstream.

The whisky matures primarily in ex-Sherry casks and ex-Bourbon casks. The distillery’s low-temperature and long fermentation times, combined with slow distillation cuts results in an elegant spirit. And the balanced tannin structure exemplifies everything we love about the brand.
