Aside from the first rays of rare Scottish sunshine and the yellow daffodils that suddenly bloom on the estate, the first blush of spring at The Glenrothes comes with some familiar arrivals. Over the last few years we’ve welcomed a family of ducks at the distillery. They turn up at the beginning of May to paddle together in the waters of the Rothes Burn and feed from the land—as well as enjoying the bread from our sandwiches that we like to share with them during our breaks from busy whisky making.

To us, the first sighting of our ducks represents a moment to pause and reflect on new beginnings and the days to come as we ramp up production before taking our break during the distillery’s ‘silent season’. Being surrounded by the changing cycles of nature is a constant reminder of our connection to the land and the continuity of the traditions that are such an important part of what we do here.

So let’s all raise a glass together to our feathered friends!
