This bottling of a 26-year-old Rosebank single malt was produced by the independent bottler That Boutique-Y Whisky Company as Batch No. 2. The whisky was bottled in 333 individually numbered bottles.
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. In 2017, Ian Macleod Distillers bought the site and the remaining stock, including the brand, and production has been back on site since 2023.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
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.
