The Distillery

Founded in 1840 by James Rankine, the renowned Rosebank Distillery was strategically established in Falkirk at the junction of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, enhancing its distribution capabilities. Originally equipped with three copper stills and round wooden worm tubs, Rosebank specialized in producing triple distilled malt whisky, embodying the distinctive character of Lowland whisky. Historical records indicate that a Rosebank distillery existed as early as 1798, and from 1817 to 1819, James Robertson operated a Rosebank Distillery in Stirlingshire, though its exact location remains unclear. Rosebank continued to flourish until its closure in 1993, after which many of its historic buildings were demolished, rendering it a lost Lowland malt whisky distillery. However, the legacy of Rosebank is set to be revived with its reopening in June 2024, promising to restore its esteemed reputation and offer whisky enthusiasts a resurgence of its traditional craftsmanship and exceptional triple distilled malt whisky. This revival marks a significant milestone in preserving Scotland’s rich whisky heritage, ensuring that Rosebank Distillery remains a celebrated name among whisky connoisseurs and collectors worldwide.
