PARSONS AAS INTERIOR DESIGN - The New School

Founded in 1879, The Glenrothes Distillery is all about flavor and its
effect on the senses. The color and material palette for this project
was inspired in the interaction of the spirit and the wooden cask;
which gives the liquor 60% of its flavor and its golden hue.
Each vintage has its own personality and unique flavor. The flavor
is visually represented in “tasting notes”. A tasting note is the visual
representation of the characteristic flavors that integrate the whisky.
It is through this “1972 tasting note” that this project’s concept and
floor plan was developed.
Bottled twice, first in 1996 and the second time in 2004, is the
reason why the tasting note’s shape is repeated twice in the floor plan,
recreating a three dimensional shape resembling a jewel. The lounge
was placed in the center of the space to accentuate its importance as
a homage to The Glenrothes distillery’s greatest achievement.
