The Glenrothes Wine Merchant’s Collection Finished In Various Ex-Wine Casks

Scotland’s The Glenrothes distillery, playing upon the long-standing relationships its owner Berry Bros. & Rudd has with various wine producers, is debuting a new series of single malt whiskies which saw extra maturation time in different types of ex-wine barrels. Known as The Glenrothes Wine Merchant’s Collection, bottles from it are ready to come to market at a price point of £200, or close to $250 USD.

The Glenrothes Wine Merchant’s Collection, according to the distillery, was first distilled back in 1992 and matured for more than two decades in hogshead casks. The aged Scotch was then finished in a range of casks which formerly held wines from Château de Beaucastel, Lustau and Ridge Vineyards, casks from port houses Warre’s and Graham’s as well as ex rum casks from the St. Lucia Distillery.

Non-chill filtered and natural in color, the whiskies in this collection were all bottled at cask strength.

“The Glenrothes Wine Merchant’s Collection is the result of combining the 300 year old lineage of Berry Bros. & Rudd with those of some of our most illustrious wine suppliers,” said Ronnie Cox, Brands Heritage Director at Berry Bros & Rudd, in a prepared statement. “The combination of flavours of both wine and whisky and their balance is always a delightful challenge but, I hope you agree that each of these expressions proudly manifests the distinguished nobility of both.”
