Description

This elaborate release is presented in a large Jesmonite column, which must be smashed with an accompanying hammer to access the bottle within. Alternatively, one can unscrew the column, revealing an ornate 'orchid', which blooms when rotated. Upon destroying the presentation, owners are invited to return the pieces to the distillery, where the column will be restored by a team of kintsugi artists. This is the oldest whisky ever released by The Glenrothes, limited to 100 bottles worldwide.
