ROSEBANK 1979 20 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS

ROSEBANK 1979 20 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS

Single malt.

Pride of the Lowlands, Rosebank is making a comeback after more than 25 years, courtesy of Ian MacLeod Distillers who purchased the derelict Falkirk distillery in 2017. While renovations have been delayed slightly by global events, the new stills were installed in May 2022, so they’re well on their way to resuming production.

It might still be a while before we see any new Rosebank expressions hitting the shelves, but until then Ian MacLeod will be tiding us over with several exciting releases drawn from casks laid down prior the distillery’s closure in 1993. The question is, how will the new output stack up against these classics?

This expression is part of Diageo's highly collectable Rare Malts range.

Bottle Number: 2973

60.3% ABV / 70cl
