With these two essential elements he wanted to get a whiskey lighter and fruity than his region companions. And he got it. Glenrothes Manse Reserve is one of the most refined expressions of the distillery. An excellent assembly is performed between a whiskey that passes through oak barrels that have contained Bourbon and then go through others who have content Jerez wines.
