After 25 years of silence… a sleeping giant awakens. Once the beating heart of the Scottish town of Falkirk, Rosebank Distillery was established on the banks of the Fourth & Clyde Canal in 1840 and produced a whisky that was often described around the world as the ‘King of the Lowlands’ until it’s gates closed in 1993. The Distillery was saved from becoming a footnote in history by Ian Macleod Distillers in 2017, and now the arduous yet ‘feel-good’ process of restoring and reopening the distillery has begun. Soon Rosebank’s unique combination of worm tub condensers and triple distillation will once again be used to create whisky.
Distillery Manager Malcolm Rennie comments
“There is a real sense of anticipation in the air with the new distillery nearing completion and most of the equipment in place. The project is due for completion in mid-December and I have an experienced distillery team of five who are all raring to go ahead of our official opening in early 2023. The revival of this sleeping giant is a huge moment for the whisky community, but most importantly for the people of Falkirk who have patiently awaited its return for three decades. It’s safe to say that it will be an immensely emotional moment to see the spirit flowing through the Rosebank spirit safe once again”.
