About this Fib Whisky

Fib Whisky presents this single cask Glenrothes 16 Year Old, distilled in July 2009 and bottled in July 2025 at a bold 61.2% cask strength. Matured in a first fill Oloroso sherry hogshead, this Speyside malt showcases the distillery’s signature fruity, rounded style enhanced by rich layers of sherried sweetness.

Glenrothes is known for producing a weighty and honeyed spirit, often reserved for blending, which makes single-cask releases like this all the more exciting. The Oloroso cask has added deep colour, dried-fruit richness and dessert-like indulgence, while retaining Glenrothes’ gentle Speyside elegance.

Bottled at natural colour and without chill filtration, this release yielded only 275 bottles, offering a rare opportunity to experience Glenrothes in its most natural form.

The nose opens with ripe banana and homemade flapjack, a balance of fruit and cereal sweetness. The palate follows with delicate tropical fruit tones (think papaya and melon) wrapped in soft, creamy sherry notes. The finish grows gradually richer, evolving into a beautifully rounded sticky-toffee-pudding character with lingering warmth and depth.

A superbly balanced dram that blends Speyside finesse with the full generosity of Oloroso cask maturation.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay. US Customs takes two to three weeks to complete, after which your parcel will arrive at your door as if it were a normal delivery.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

Carbon neutral?

Yes, all our deliveries are carbon neutral. We work with Planet to estimate the carbon impact of each delivery, and then purchase carbon removal credits to offset the emissions.
