This bottling of a Rosebank single malt was produced by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in the Cask Strength series. The whisky was distilled in 1990, matured in two refill ex-sherry butts and was bottled at cask strength in 2006.
Rosebank was a distillery in Camelon, Falkirk, Scotland, which was founded around 1840 by James Rankine, even though whisky had been produced on the site since 1798. The distillery underwent a major refurbishment in 1865, with all buildings except the malt house demolished and rebuilt. In 1914 Rosebank was a founder member of the Scottish Malt Distillers. In 1987, the distillery was sold to United Distillers (UD, now Diageo) and closed in 1993.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
