The Last Drop Distillers Glenrothes 1969 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Last Drop Distillers Glenrothes 1969 Cask #16203 is an extraordinarily rare Speyside single malt — one of three sibling casks filled at Glenrothes in 1969, bottled separately at 46.3% ABV after more than 50 years of undisturbed Speyside maturation, exhibiting the shared attributes of ripe fruit, citrus, creamy vanilla, and hints of exotic spice characteristic of Glenrothes single malt, with the individual alchemy of the specific cask.

1969 was a year of firsts, lasts, and seismic change. Neil Armstrong took his small step for man. The Beatles performed live on the roof of Abbey Road for the final time. Over half a million people gathered at Woodstock. In Scotland, three casks of Glenrothes were quietly filled, beginning their half-century of undisturbed maturation. The Last Drop Distillers was founded to bottle the world’s most extraordinary aged and rare spirits. The three sibling casks — each yielding a distinctly different spirit despite the shared vintage and Glenrothes character — celebrate the differences in personality between individual casks. Cask #16203 is 46.3% ABV. Browse the full Scotch whisky collection at Wooden Cork.
