The Glenrothes has been making whisky quietly and without compromise since 1879, and it is best known for its rich and rounded single malt ? handcrafted by a community of whisky makers.
But it all started with two men with a love for whisky and a story to tell.
James Stuart was a corn factor and the owner of the Mills of Rothes, which supplied grains to the neighbouring distillers. Stuart was also passionate about whisky and had dreams of building a new distillery in his hometown of Rothes, in Moray, Scotland. Reverend William Sharp, on the other hand, was a priest in the nearby village of Archiestown. Sharp cared for his community and saw how the distillery could provide jobs for them ? he was determined to help turn his partner?s dream into reality.
These dreams, however, were dashed when the 1878 financial crisis put a halt to the completion of the distillery.
Nonetheless, the men?s steely resolve and bold curiosity to create an extraordinary single malt whisky never wavered. They eventually raised just enough funds to complete work and the new The Glenrothes Distillery was born in 1879.
