Ian MacLeod Distillers has announced that the revived Rosebank Distillery will open to the public on June 7, 2024.
Rosebank is a Lowland distillery, set on the Forth and Clyde Canal between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The distillery was mothballed in 1993; the state reason at the time was an estimated £2m upgrade to its wastewater treatment equipment was uneconomical. Various parts of the property were sold over the years, with the bonded warehouse becoming a pub and the maltings demolished and redeveloped into housing. Metal thieves made off with the stills and much of the distillery equipment. Ian MacLeod bought the property in 2017, and successfully restarted production there last year.
