- Description
- Rosebank was a legendary Lowland distillery that closed in 1993, making even youthful bottlings historically significant. This 1990 distillation was aged eight years in ex-bourbon cask and represents a snapshot of the distillery's characteristic light, elegant style before production ceased. Rare and sought by collectors, it offers a window into a lost Scottish whisky tradition.
