The Glenrothes Unveils Half-Century Old Whisky. It’s Worth More Than Your Car.

The Glenrothes has released their latest and oldest ever single malt, dubbed appropriately The 51. Just 100 bottles of the 51 year old whisky are available globally, each priced at £37,000 ($46,500).

Crafted from just two casks, The 51 presents a complexity and vibrancy rarely found in whiskies of this age. One cask delivers deeply perfumed notes that evoke the fragility of an orchid’s scent, while the other offers luxurious richness and depth. The resulting whisky, limited to only 100 bottles, is a rare and fragrant wonder: the orchid of The Glenrothes collection.

“The 51 is a testament to those rare moments in whisky making when patience, nature, and craft align perfectly. This whisky defies expectations – elegant yet powerful, it offers a singular experience for those who truly understand and appreciate rarity,” said Laura Rampling, Master Whisky Maker. “Each sip unveils new layers, from soft floral notes to deep complexity, much like the orchids that bloom year after year on our estate. We are thrilled to share this extraordinary and exclusive release with the world.”
