Glenrothes is one my my favorite non-islay malts (others are highland park and edradour). Macallan used to be a favorite, but it's gone downhill since Suntory bought them and made them quadruple production.

The problem is I was drinking out of my budget. My dad had gotten the bottle as a gift and I love to buy one for myself but at $400.00 for 700ml its just WAY out of my league.Quote:

Glenrothes at Spec's Online
(Ready access to Spec's is one of the perks that help make up for putting up with Houston's humidity)

The bottle was only 700 ml not 750 it was hand labeled and numbered let me see if I can find a pic online...
