Glenrothes 30 Year Old 1995 is a richly expressive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, selected for Signatory Vintage’s Symington’s Choice—a collection reserved for exceptional and rare casks. Distilled in 1995 and matured for three decades in a first fill Oloroso sherry butt (#6979), this outstanding release was bottled in February 2026 at 54.6% ABV, yielding 487 numbered bottles.

Glenrothes’ naturally rounded and fruity spirit is beautifully enhanced by long-term maturation in first fill Oloroso wood, developing deep layers of dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spice. The result is a full-bodied and luxurious whisky that balances richness with classic Speyside elegance. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a pure and highly rewarding single cask expression.
