Freshly distilled spirit from the 3 stills at the newly revived King of the Lowlands, Rosebank distillery. The spirit coming through the safe is captured at 77% and then bottled here at filling strength, 63.5% abv, before it touches oak casks to capture this part of the journey to whisky. This spirit would normally rest for at least 3 years in oak casks before becoming whisky. The lucky winner of this lot will get to be among the very first to sample something of what is highly anticipated after over 30 years of silence.The team at Rosebank have faithfully replicated the unique triple distillation of the original distillery, producing a light, floral character whilst the use of worm tub condensers provides a robust, flavoursome whisky with more body and texture. This spirit is cereal led with hints of sweet apple and sharp citrus, beautifully balanced with deeper earthy tones

Rosebank

The Lowland distilleries took a pounding during the 1980s closures, somehow Rosebank in Falkirk survived until 1993 before closing its doors. For such a well-regarded whisky, this was a huge loss. An ageing site, a drop in demand for single malt and a location that offered difficult access and no room for expansion, spelled the end for Rosebank. This was reinforced when the stills and distilling equipment were stolen in 2008; thereby removing the heart of the distillery. And that was it, or at least we thought so. Then, Ian MacLeod Distillers, the owners of Glengoyne and Tamdhu, struck a deal with Diageo to purchase the site, the brand and the remaining stock. We don’t know the fee, but it will have been sizeable. Work is underway to bring the distillery into operation while remaining faithful to its roots. A series of premium whiskies has also been released to offer enthusiasts the chance to experience the ‘old’ Rosebank, before, in a few years, we’ll have a new whisky to enjoy.
