Glenrothes 17 Year Old

Distilled at Glenrothes Distillery in November 1996. Bottled Glasgow February 2014. Un-chill filtered, no artificial colouring. Aged 17 years old at 55.8% alcohol by volume.


From the same vintage as the 16 years old. The strength is a little higher but over all has pretty much the same characteristics. Although as it was matured in a different cask there just a hint banana that is missing from the 16 years bottling.

The Distillery which was established in 1878, is one of five situated in the small town of Rothes. It is located beside the Burn of Rothes which flows from the Mannoch Hills into the River Spey Blenders consider this one of the top malts and as such Glenrothes is at the heart of some of the finest blends such as Cutty Sark and The Famous Grouse.

Our Whisky Archives

The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.

We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.

Our Story

Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.

Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.

We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
