About
The 'King of the Lowlands' -- Rosebank was widely regarded as the finest Lowland single malt ever produced before its closure in 1993. Founded in 1840 in Falkirk on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, it practiced rare triple distillation (unusual outside Ireland and Auchentoshan) which gave its spirit an extraordinarily delicate, floral, and complex character. Closed during the 1990s downturn, its remaining stocks became highly prized -- Rosebank bottles routinely sell for hundreds to thousands of pounds. Ian Macleod Distillers acquired the site from Diageo in 2017 and undertook a meticulous restoration, reopening the distillery in June 2023 with its triple-distillation process faithfully recreated. The restored distillery includes the original Victorian buildings, a visitor experience along the canal, and the original three copper pot stills. Rosebank's return is a triumph of whisky heritage preservation -- proving that lost legends can be reborn.
