- Description
- Rosebank's 1979 vintage represents one of Scotland's rarest and most sought-after closed distilleries, bottled at a generous 60.3% ABV for the Rare Malts series after 20 years of maturation. The Lowland distillery's signature light, floral, slightly fruity character would have developed subtle complexity and layered character over two decades. This cask strength release captures the spirit's delicate nature while delivering the depth earned through time. An investment piece and historical artifact for serious collectors.
