Ian Macleod
Distillers release Rosebank 30 Year Old
1990 Vintage Release One, the first
bottling in a series of annual limited
edition Rosebank single malt whiskies.
Ian Macleod Distillers today
announced the release of the first
bottling in a series of annual limited
edition Rosebank single malt whiskies
which they will be releasing over the
next decade in the run up to the release
of the first lowland spirit from the
'new' Rosebank distillery which they are
currently in the process of
constructing in Falkirk, Scotland, on
the site of the old Rosebank distillery.
The first whisky in the series, which
will be marked 'Release One', is a
Rosebank 30 Year Old, the lowland dram
was triple distilled in 1990 just 3
years before the distillery closed, it was matured
in a combination of 62% refill sherry
butts and 38% refill bourbon hogsheads
for three decades. Bottled at 48.6% ABV,
non chill-filtered and naturally coloured
there are 4,350 bottles available
worldwide with a RRP of £1,650.
Rosebank is also giving its fans and
connoisseurs the chance to get more than
just a bottle of the rare whisky. The
first 200 people to scan the QR code on
the neck collar of their Release One
bottle will be given the opportunity to
enjoy a dram of Release Two at their
nearest high-end, luxury bar or whisky
retailer in 2021 as well as the chance
to receive an early link to purchase
Release Two before the general release.
(A list of participating outlets for
these customers to choose from will be
sent to them in early 2021.)
Robbie Hughes, Group Distillation
Manager for Ian Macleod Distillers,
said: "The first global release of
Rosebank 30 Year Old is a truly iconic
moment for the distillery. It has
matured in 62% refill sherry butts and
38% refill bourbon hogsheads for
decades, patiently waiting to be awoken,
and delivers layers of incredible
flavour that you won’t find in other
whiskies.
"What makes Release One so exciting is
that we’re giving Rosebank fans the
chance to join us on this monumental
journey over the next decade, as we
revive the iconic distillery. With a
chance to 'bank' exclusive access to
next year’s release, we’re not only
inviting them to become part of
Rosebank's legacy, but to become part of
Rosebank's family."
The Rosebank 30 Year Old 1990 vintage
'Release One' comes from some of the
last remaining maturing stocks of
Rosebank whisky which Ian Macleod
Distillers acquired in back in October
2017 along with the Rosebank brand ahead
of obtaining planning permission in 2019
to reconstruct the distillery which they
are currently in the process of doing.
The Rosebank 30 Year Old 'Release One'
will initially be available direct from the Rosebank
website followed by specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop and
Master of Malt where you will also
find a small selection of rare and
increasingly scarce Rosebank bottlings.
