The Glenrothes 'Select Reserve' Malt Whisky - a very special Whisky.
The Glenrothes malt whisky is bottled by 'vintage' and not by age which is the first ever in the whisky industry. Their master distiller will only bottle the whisky when it has matured and reached its peak of perfection. The shape of the bottle stands out and many are complete with a handwritten signature from the master distiller. Owned by Berry Bros & Rudd who are Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchants, they are the Wine and Spirit Merchants by Appointment to HM The Queen and The Prince of Wales.
43%ABV - £38.00/70cl. Stockists: Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Asda.
