About This Whisky

Rosebank 1979 20 Year Old Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl 60.3% ABV

Experience one of the most revered releases from Scotland's legendary lost Lowland distillery with the Rosebank 1979 20 Year Old Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl 60.3% ABV. Distilled in 1979 and matured for an impressive 20 years, this highly collectible expression was released as part of Diageo's iconic Rare Malts Selection, a series renowned for preserving some of Scotland's most exceptional and hard-to-find whiskies.

Produced at the historic Rosebank Distillery, often celebrated as the "King of the Lowlands," this rare vintage bottling showcases the elegant, floral, and complex character that made Rosebank one of Scotland's most cherished distilleries. Following the distillery's closure in 1993, original Rosebank releases became increasingly scarce, elevating bottlings such as this to legendary status among whisky collectors and investors.

Bottled at a formidable natural cask strength of 60.3% ABV, this Rare Malts release captures Rosebank's distinctive triple-distilled spirit in its purest form. Rich with floral notes, citrus fruits, honeyed sweetness, fresh malt, and delicate oak spice, it offers an extraordinary glimpse into one of Scotland's most sought-after closed distilleries.

Today, the Rosebank 1979 20 Year Old Rare Malts Selection is considered one of the finest examples of mature Lowland single malt Scotch whisky and remains a centrepiece in the world's most prestigious whisky collections.

About Rosebank

Rosebank distillery is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery situated in Camelon on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Rosebank Reawakened
The new Rosebank has sought to preserve as much as possible of the old distillery with its Victorian red brick and towering chimney stack, and merge it with a striking new design – all plate glass and back zinc. In pride of place are its three gleaming pot stills to triple distil the spirit that is then condensed in traditional worm tubs just as it always has been. It’s all part of what makes Rosebank unique.
