Your experience starts with tales of the old Rosebank brought to life in the original distillery buildings. You’ll then be taken on a guided tour of our magnificent new glass-fronted stillhouse where you’ll see every step of Rosebank’s unique production process. You will pause by the spirit safe to nose our new make spirit, followed by a visit to the warehouse where you’ll see casks of Rosebank, some filled before the distillery closed its doors over thirty years ago.
This tour finishes in one of our private tasting rooms, with a special tasting of a very rare Rosebank whisky served in a bespoke glass. You’ll also be sampling a pair of fine single malts from our sister distilleries.
