Rosebank Distillery, which initially closed in 1993, has welcomed its first guests following a four-year restoration project aimed at preserving the original site. The new distillery is expected to benefit the Falkirk community by stimulating tourism, creating jobs, and boosting the local economy. Nicknamed the ‘Sleeping Giant of Scottish Distilleries’, Rosebank Distillery is now open to whisky enthusiasts from around the world for the first time.
Stuart Hendry, Brand Homes Director at Ian Macleod Distillers said, “This is a huge moment for the people of Falkirk and the global whisky community. It has been an absolute pleasure watching Rosebank reawaken, with its original, unique distillation methods now sitting at the heart of inspiring new buildings that respect the original setting. The sense of pride that the people of Falkirk have in Rosebank is very much felt by all of us at Ian Macleod Distillers, and to be custodians of such an iconic distillery is a dream come true.”
