Bottled at 48.1% ABV, un-chillfiltered and triple distilled, only 4,000 bottles were released worldwide, making it the last old Rosebank release before the physically rebuilt distillery reopened to the public in 2023. Light, vibrant and elegant despite its considerable age, it delivers citrus, soft vanilla and candied almond character, and scored 91 points from independent critics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRosebank 31 Year Old Tasting Notes.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNose: Citrus burst, lime, lemongrass and coriander seed, with clove, soft vanilla and sugar-coated almonds.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePalate: Fantastic age while still light and vibrant, with mint, chamomile, leather, berry and banana bread.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinish: Sweetens with hints of peach, oak and long, lingering herbal notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Choose Rosebank 31 Year Old?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRosebank was once revered by whisky connoisseurs the world over as \"The King of the Lowlands,\" built on a genuinely unusual production method — one of the very few Scotch distilleries to combine triple distillation with traditional worm tub condensers, giving the whisky a lightness and floral elegance rarely found elsewhere in Scotch. This Release Two carries real narrative significance: comprised of stocks from just before the distillery was mothballed in 1993, it was explicitly positioned as the last old Rosebank release before the physically rebuilt distillery reopened to the public in 2023 — effectively closing the chapter on the \"legacy\" era of Rosebank whisky before new spirit began flowing again. Reviewers have specifically noted its remarkable freshness given its 31-year age, describing it as \"light and vibrant\" rather than showing the heavier, more tired oak character older whiskies can sometimes carry. With only 4,000 bottles released worldwide and a 91-point critic score, it's already developed a genuine collector's market at auction, following in the footsteps of the highly sought-after Release One before it. For serious Scotch collectors or anyone wanting to taste a defining, farewell chapter of pre-revival Rosebank, this is a compelling and increasingly scarce release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRosebank Distillery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eRosebank Distillery was established in 1840 on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal near Falkirk, Scotland, and by the 20th century had become revered as \"The King of the Lowlands\" for its distinctively light, floral whisky — an unusual product of Scotland's industrial Central Belt. The distillery closed in 1993 and lay silent for over two decades until Ian Macleod Distillers, owners of Glengoyne and Tamdhu, acquired the site, trademark and remaining stock in 2017, beginning a careful revival. While a new Rosebank distillery has since been rebuilt on the original site and new spirit is maturing, Ian Macleod has released a series of rare aged expressions from the last surviving pre-closure stock — including this 30 Year Old, Release One — to bridge the gap and mark the brand's historic return.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosebank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52321060978976,"sku":null,"price":3599.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0232\/3232\/files\/Rosebank31YOScotchWhisky700mL.jpg?v=1788943035","url":"https:\/\/whisky.estate\/products\/rosebank-31-year-old-single-malt-scotch-whisky","provider":"Whisky Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
