Glenrothes calls it the Four Corners – meaning the foundation upon which Glenrothes single malt is built. Water is one of the Corners, as is slow distillation. The latter eliminates impurities and allows for a lighter and fruitier spirit. Sherry-seasoned casks impart a unique depth of flavor to the maturation process. Finally, the color of Glenrothes is never altered, always kept in its natural state. Together these Four Corners form the basis of the Glenrothes 18 Y, one of the distilleries’ newest expressions, matured in first-fill sherry-seasoned casks.
