Ian Macleod Distillers haben verlautbart, dass die Rosebank Distillery in den schottischen Lowlands ab sofort für Besucher geöffnet ist – übrigens zum ersten Mal in ihrer Geschichte.
Auf der Webseite kann man drei verschiedene Touren buchen, die nachfolgend beschrieben sind:
ROSEBANK REAWAKENING
90 MINS | £25 PER PERSON
A guided tour of Rosebank Distillery and a tutored tasting of Glengoyne 12 year old and Tamdhu 12 year old.
Your experience begins with the stories of Rosebank brought to life in the original distillery building. From there, you’ll be taken on a guided tour through our beautiful new still house, where you’ll discover the whisky-making process that makes Rosebank so unique. You’ll nose the character of the new spirit fresh from the still, before visiting the warehouse where precious casks of Rosebank lie. The experience concludes in our tasting rooms where you’ll toast Rosebank’s return with two single malts from our sister distilleries.
ROSEBANK REKINDLED
90 MINS | £95 PER PERSON
A guided tour of Rosebank Distillery and a tutored tasting of Rosebank 31 year old, Glengoyne 15 year old and Tamdhu 15 year old.
Your experience starts with tales of the old Rosebank brought to life in the original distillery buildings. You’ll then be taken on a guided tour of our magnificent new glass-fronted stillhouse where you’ll see every step of Rosebank’s unique production process. You will pause by the spirit safe to nose our new make spirit, followed by a visit to the warehouse where you’ll see casks of Rosebank, some filled before the distillery closed its doors over thirty years ago.
This tour finishes in one of our private tasting rooms, with a special tasting of a very rare Rosebank whisky served in a bespoke glass. You’ll also be sampling a pair of fine single malts from our sister distilleries.
ROSEBANK REVERED
3 HOURS | £300 PER PERSON
A detailed tour of Rosebank Distillery. An exclusive tasting of a flight of three rare aged the Rosebank whiskies, each served in a bespoke glass.
You will join us in the Rosebank Lounge for a welcome reception where we’ll share tales of the original Rosebank distillery and the story behind its meticulous restoration. You’ll then be taken on a detailed guided tour through our beautiful new still house, and from there to Rosebank’s Academy Room to discover how we crafted our New Make Spirit. You will compare the first run with the refined New Make, and you’ll hear the notes from our distillery manager, Malcolm Rennie, recorded at the time of the first tasting. You’ll then visit the warehouse where precious casks of old Rosebank lie beside the first casks of new Rosebank filled when production restarted in June 2023.
This experience ends in our private tasting rooms with a tutored tasting of three exceptionally rare Rosebank whiskies.
Der Distillery Shop ist ebenfalls geöffnet, von 10 Uhr bis 17:30, sieben Tage die Woche.
Zur Feier der Eröffnung hat man wieder eine neue Abfüllung veröffentlicht, und wieder eine, die noch älter ist als alle zuvor auf den Markt gebrachten: Der Rosebank Vintage 1989 wurde mit 47,5% vol. Alkoholstärke abgefüllt und kostet in der Brennerei (er ist nur dort erhältlich) 3200 Pfund. Insgesamt 650 Flaschen davon wurden abgefüllt…
