Distillery Information

The Glenrothes story begins in 1878 when a distillery was founded by James Stuart and Co in the town of Rothes on the banks of the river Spey. Production commenced in 1879. The group also owned the nearby Macallan distillery. James Stuart, a principle of the group, left to focus his efforts on Macallan and three remaining members of the syndicate; William Grant, Robert Dick and John Cruickshank, formed William Grant and Co. In 1887, William Grant and Co. merged with Islay Distillery Co to form Highland Distillers Company (a forerunner of the present day Edrington Group). This included the Glenrothes distillery, as well as Bunnahabhain on Islay. The capacity was increased with the addition of further stills in 1898. 1922 disaster struck when the No 1 bonded warehouse caught fire and hundreds of casks of whisky exploded. Over 2500 barrels of whisky were lost. It is said that the locals had a field day scooping up all the whisky that had poured into a nearby burn.
