The Rosebank 1979 20 Year Old is part of Diageo's Rare Malts Selection, a collection that includes single malt whiskies from both operational and shuttered distilleries. This Rosebank expression was distilled in 1979 and bottled in October 1999. The release is significant for its cask strength of 60.3% and features individual bottle numbers.
The Rare Malts Selection was a series designed by Diageo to highlight some of the hidden treasures in their portfolio, including whiskies from the now-closed Rosebank Distillery. The series, discontinued between 1995 and 2005, showcases cask-strength releases, reflecting the natural characteristics of the whiskies.
Bottles from Rosebank are sought after by collectors due to the distillery's closure, making them part of a historical selection. This particular Rosebank edition, with its 20-year maturation and natural cask strength, represents a distinct aspect of Scottish Lowland single malt tradition.
