Ever since its formation in London in 1962, the English rock band ‘The Rolling Stones’, have been criss-crossing the globe, playing to multi-millions of adoring fans and earning the distinction of being the greatest touring rock-band of all times. Now five decades later, not only the Rolling Stones are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary that artists in any field would be overjoyed to attain, but also the noted Japanese liquor brand Suntory will be celebrating with the release of a limited edition of its blended whisky Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Whisky. Scheduled to be released as part of the successful cross-category Stones Bar series on 30th this month, the Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Whisky, limited to just 150 bottles, will impressively feature The Rolling Stones’ iconic lips and tongue logo.

The Glenrothes, a Speyside single malt scotch brand owned by Berry Bros. & Rudd, that has made a name for itself with a highly collectable series of vintage malts, has now proudly unveiled one of its most exclusive series of single cask bottling of ‘The Glenrothes’ from the late 1960s and early 1970s. With the release of this ‘extraordinary cask collection,’ Berry Bros. & Rudd as a merchant is actually continuing its philosophy of selecting the finest quality wines and spirits for its customers. However, this cask collection has been made possible by the discovery of vintage casks of unrivaled provenance from a private collector in Scotland, by Berry Bros & Rudd’s brand-heritage director Ronnie Cox. Notably, this whiskey has been chosen as a supreme example of the Speyside distillery’s supple, silky style. The rare cask found is the last of its year, and once the 179 bottles yielded by this cask are gone, the 1970 vintage will be no more available.
