Description

The Glenrothes 42 Year Old, affectionately known as “The 42,” is an extraordinarily rare and limited edition single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region. Distilled in 1980 and aged for 42 years in carefully selected refill sherry oak casks, it was bottled in 2023 at 43% ABV. This expression, with only 1,134 bottles released worldwide, is unchill-filtered and presented in a distinctive bottle and presentation case, reflecting the local terrain around the distillery. It is recognized for its exceptional quality and remarkable depth of character, embodying decades of patient maturation and the distillery's unwavering commitment to excellence. Master Whisky Maker Laura Rampling selected the four casks that contribute to its complex and elegant flavor profile.
