Built by James Rankine on the banks of the Forth-Clyde canal between Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1840 (although distilling is said to have been carried out on the site since the late 18th century), Rosebank became a limited company in 1894 and in 1914 was one of the founding members of the Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd (later to be taken over by DCL ...

An increasingly hard to find bottling, as it was discontinued a while back, from the closed and now redeveloped Rosebank distillery. A victim of the early 1990s downturn in the whisky market and producer of some beautiful whiskies. MAXIMUM 2 BOTTLES PER CUSTOMER.
A 1990 vintage whisky from now closed Rosebank, who closed their doors for the last time a few years later in 1993. This matured in bourbon casks for 21 years before being bottled in 2011 by Murray McDavid for their Mission series. MAXIMUM 1 PER CUSTOMER.
A 1990 vintage whisky from closed distillery Rosebank, matured for 21 years in a refill sherry cask before bottling in 2011 by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask range.

Only the second official Rosebank since the demise of the Rare Malts series, this 21yo was distilled in 1990 and has been vatted from refill American and European casks. Lighter in style than 2007's officially-bottled 25yo, in a strong field this was another of the hits of 2011's Special Releases.

A very rare official bottling of Rosebank, this high-strength 15yo dates from the 1980s (when the distillery was still open) and has a wonderful old-fashioned steely austerity uncharacteristic for such a relatively easy-going spirit. Water reveals a bitter lemon and other tangy citrus notes. A classic of this 'pure' style.
