Rosebank 17 Year Old Bottled 1980s - Cadenhead's 5cl

A miniature bottle of Rosebank 17 Year Old, produced by Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd. and bottled at 46% ABV by Cadenhead's. We estimate this was bottled in the 1980s.

Rosebank was a Lowland distillery that operated on the same site from 1840 until it was mothballed in 1993. The whisky produced there typified the light, floral Lowland style, and like some of its neighbours, the whisky was triple-distilled. Jim Murray (Whisky Bible) maintained that Rosebank should be ranked in the top 5 of all Scottish malts.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
