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.
