Of all the closed Lowland distilleries, Rosebank has the best chance to be reopened. Still owned by Diageo, the ‘Queen of the Lowlands’ is a flavorful complex malt that is still widely available. Rosebank was built in 1840 and was named after the roses that bloomed on the banks of the Forth-Cliyde canal. Rosebank employed the triple distillation method and this luxurious malt will surely be missed. You would be wise to stock up now before the malt becomes to expensive.
