Who owns Rosebank distillery?
The Rosebank distillery started with founder James Rankine in 1840, afterwhich his descendants continued to manage the distillery until a month before the outbreak of World War One. Today, Rosebank distillery is owned by the Russell’s family, who operates Ian MacLeod Distillers, currently run by third-generation owner Leonard Russell.
Why did Rosebank distillery close?
Rosebank is a lost distillery that was mothballed in 1993 due to its effluent treatment, which would have required a £2 million upgrade in order to comply with European standards of the time. As this upgrade would have made Rosebank commercially non-viable, it met its fate as a lost distillery that is highly sought after now.
Is Rosebank whisky a good investment?
Given how Rosebank is a lost distillery, its bottles are far and away rare and invaluable. Due to its current status, Rosebank whisky has a high demand among collectors and investors and Rosebank drams go for quite a premium. In particular, several bottles under the Rare Malts Selection or those under the Zenith Import are highly rated on WhiskyBase and by Serge of WhiskyFun and would be pricey to obtain.
