ROSEBANK 21 ans The Roses Edition IV Grace

Launched in 2017 in tribute to the Rosebank distillery, which had disappeared for almost 30 years, on Valentine’s Day every year, this range from Elixir Distillers releases a new very limited edition named after a variety of rose to highlight the floral character of the whiskies. Closed in 1993 by owners United Distillers (Diageo), Rosebank is today the Lowlands' most sought-after malt. In a rare phenomenon experienced by only a handful of distilleries such as Macallan, Ardbeg and Laphroaig, official versions and independent bottlings are just as equally prized. In 2019, for example, three years after its release, the Rosebank True Love edition from the Roses range (Specialty Drinks) far surpassed the popularity of the official version Rosebank 20 Year Old Zenith Import (1980s), which was until then the leading expression. In September 2017, the brand and stock were bought by Ian Macleod Distillers, who, in January 2019, were given permission to renovate and reopen the distillery. The distillery finally reopens during summer 2023. A limited edition of 613 bottles.
