Description
This official Rosebank single malt, a 20 year old Lowland malt, and bottled at 57%. The outturn was 2580 bottles. Rosebank, first established in 1840 on the banks of the canal in the central Lowlands, was silenced in 1993. After closure the site fell derelict, and thieves even took the copper stills in 2008.
The spirit was run three times through copper pot stills, then cooled in worm tubs, for the refined Lowland style quite its own. Maturation came in ex-Bourbon wood, lending honey and vanilla under the grass. Mid age brings a fuller honey and a deeper tropical note to the florals. Triple distillation strips heavy congeners, concentrating light esters such as ethyl hexanoate, giving pear and apple notes. Laid down before 1993, this is spirit from a distillery silent for three decades. History on the site runs back to the Stark brothers in 1798, before Rankine's 1840 distillery.
Bottled at a cask strength 57%, it is rich. Honeysuckle and lemon zest meet soft vanilla and honey from the cask. Soft citrus and orchard fruit sit behind the sweetness. A delicate, fruity finish lingers long. This is a revered triple distilled malt from a distillery silent for thirty years.
