Bigger on the palate than you might expect, yet delicate and subtle in aroma and taste, with all the characteristic Rosebank spiciness. A ripe and mellow Rosebank matured in re-fill American oak casks.
Diageo Special release 2007, limited edition of 4,710 individually numbered bottles. Rosebank Rosebank Distillery was established in Falkirk in 1840 by James Rankine. Rosebank Distillery was situated at the junction of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal in Scotland’s Lowland whisky region and was equipped with three copper stills and round wooden worm tubs. Rosebank was a malt whisky distillery which produced  triple distilled whisky but closed in 1993. Many of Rosebank Distillery’s buildings have been demolished and it is now a lost Scottish Lowland malt whisky distillery. Excellent texture and oilier than you'd expect from such a lush nose. Sweet at first, the apple flavours emerge strongly; soon developing an intense mixed spice note. Spiced tea loaf. Some cedar dryness. Mouth-drying, with a whiff of sooty smoke, and autumn fruits.

The Distillery

Rosebank
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.
