Glenrothes distillery in Speyside has always stood slightly apart from the pack. A top quality single malt whisky, it is arguably one of the more mass-produced whiskies in Scotland given the size and capacity of the distillery.

However, the frequently delicious bottlings Glenrothes releases often put paid to the myth that smaller means artisanal and better while bigger means mass production and less quality. Glenrothes manages to be a distinctive distillate with many great expressions while still being a very large distillery.
