A visit to The Glenrothes Distillery offers a unique experience that is a far cry from some of its more visitor-friendly contemporaries. — Photos: MICHAEL CHEANG/The Star
It was a nice sunny day in Rothes, Scotland. The sheep were baa-ing nearby as we took a nice morning walk up a hill to see one of the natural spring water sources that are so essential to making The Glenrothes single malt Scotch.
The Brauchhill spring itself was just a little bubbly hole in the ground, but the water that we drew from it was as fresh as the lovely sunny Scottish air around us. It also tasted brilliant when splashed into a dram of Glenrothes 12 Year Old, which we got to enjoy as we basked in the sunshine (a rare occasion in Scotland, we were told).
