Rosebank 32 Years Old 1991

ABV: 51.2% 70 cL

The history of Rosebank Distillery has been directly linked with the Forth Clyde canal which sits in its shadow. The waterway linked Scotland’s west and east coasts, and therefore its two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh. A distillery called Rosebank was operating as early as 1817. From 1840, under the ownership of the Rankine family, Rosebank prospered. The canal, however, became neglected and the distillery eventually closed its doors in 1993. It was reopened under new ownership to great fanfare in 2024. This release, a lost work of art, is one of the oldest and rarest Rosebank single malts ever released.


This single malt was distilled on 3rd July 1991 and aged in first fill Bourbon barrel before bottling on the 18th June 2024. It was bottled at 51.2% ABV, at natural, golden colour and without chill filtration.


Only 141 bottles produced.

Nose

Fragrant gorse flower aromas intertwine with lime zest and a hint of milk chocolate. Dried banana notes come to the fore alongside an undertone of peanuts.

Palate

Sweet honeycomb flavours give way to subtle guava and passionfruit. Smooth poached pear leads to vanilla fudge.

Finish

Medium-bodied with creamy apple and tropical fruit.
