Nestled in the heart of Speyside, The Glenrothes Distillery, established in 1879 and now owned by Edrington Group, has been quietly crafting exceptional single malt whiskies for over a century. This 3rd and 4th August, they're inviting us to peek behind the curtain with "The Timeless Artistry Experience" – an immersive journey held at Singapore's exclusive Mandala Club. The stars of the show? Two well-aged gems from their core collection: The Glenrothes 18 and The Glenrothes 25.

This isn't just a tasting, but a chance to gain a deeper understanding of The Glenrothes' meticulous approach to whisky making, from grain to glass. The Glenrothes 18, marking a pivotal point in the maturation process, promises a symphony of unexpected complexities. Think deeper dimensions that gradually reveal themselves, culminating in a full-bodied, satisfying flavour.

Then there's The Glenrothes 25 – a quarter-century in the making. It's a testament to the distillery's patience and dedication, where the light, fruity spirit has mellowed into something truly luxurious. Expect an elegant evolution of flavours, with fruits becoming more aromatic and vanilla notes taking on a decadent richness. All of this culminates in a lingering, sweet finish that's sure to leave you wanting more.

 The experience is divided into four distinct zones, each offering a unique insight into The Glenrothes' whisky making philosophy:

• Elemental: There would be an immersive soundscape accompanied by a scenic river installation. This zone highlights the two fundamental elements in whisky production: water and rock. You'll learn how The Glenrothes harnesses the power of spring water, naturally filtered through the rocky ground, to create their elegant spirit.

• Effortlessness: A vibrant display of floral and foliage artwork sets the scene for this zone, where the story of The 18 and The 25 unfolds. Both expressions, with their bright, fruity character, are a testament to the distillery's respect for nature. The natural colour of the whiskies is a visual reminder of their harmonious flavours.

• Artistry: Here, the focus is on quality and commitment to excellence. Guided tastings of The 18 and The 25 will allow you to appreciate the unique flavour profile of each whisky. It's a chance to understand the craftsmanship that has been honed over generations.

• Unparalleled: The journey ends at a stylish bar adorned with flowers, foliage, and, of course, bottles of The 18 and The 25. Here, you can linger over additional drams, delve deeper into the flavours, and perhaps even take a bottle or two home as a memento of your experience.

Whether you're a seasoned whisky lover or simply curious about the world of Scotch single malts, The Timeless Artistry Experience promises a unique and insightful journey into the heart of The Glenrothes.

Tickets to this experience are available on Eventbrite. Each ticket comes with a welcome cocktail, a dram of The Glenrothes 18 and a dram of The Glenrothes 25. 

Kanpai!
