One of a trio of malts launched in May 2013 exclusive to global travel retail, collectively known as the ‘Manse Brae’ Duty Free Range’ after the street on which Rothes House stands. The house was formerly the Minister’s home and this is the top of the Manse Brae range so is the Minster’s Reserve.
Overlooking the town below this was a place where the Elders of the Kirk would meet. The United Presbyterian Church of the nearby village of Archiestown lent £600 (equivalent to £50,000 today) to the owners of the Glenrothes Distillery to enable the distillery to be built.
