- Description
- This 1989 Rosebank was aged nine years in a single cask before W.M. Cadenhead bottled 432 examples in 1998, offering mature examples of a Lowland distillery that shuttered in 1993. Nearly a decade of maturation deepened the spirit's delicate fruit and grain notes, adding gentle oak influence while preserving the distillery's ethereal character. A mature Lowland expression with considerable rarity and historical significance. For collectors and historians seeking authentic examples of pre-1993 Rosebank.
