Rosebank Distillery is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery situated in Camelon on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The distillery was founded on its present site in1840 by James Rankine, a local wine merchant, and within forty years the Rankine's were shipping their whisky around the world. Famed for producing a delicious, triple-distilled whisky, Rosebank gained a reputation for producing one of Scotland's finest Lowland whiskies, known as 'King of the Lowlands'.
Rosebank Distillery closed its doors in 1993 and the lay empty for three decades. In October 2017, Ian MacLeod Distillers Ltd purchased the site from Scottish Canals and the trademarks from Diageo with the intention of reopening the site.[1]
After extensive restoration, production restarted at Rosebank in 2023 [2] and the Distillery opened to visitors on 7th June 2024.
Rosebank's revival is heralded as the reawakening of one of Scotland's most iconic silent distilleries.[3] The distillery was awarded five-star status from VisitScotland within one week of opening[4] and was named 'Best Regeneration Project' in the 2024 Herald Property Awards.[5]
