Our take on the Rosebank Release #1 Single Malt Scotch 1990 30 Year Old Whisky

Rosebank Release #1 is a 30-year-old single malt from the closed Lowland distillery, bottled at 48.6% ABV from 1990 stock. Rosebank was mothballed in 1993, so every bottle comes from whisky no longer produced there. Its finish is long, oaky and spicy, typical of triple-distilled Lowland malt aged three decades. As a limited first release from a silent distillery, it trades at collector prices well above standard 30-year malts.

Questions and answers

Is Rosebank 30 Year Old worth the price?
For collectors, yes: Rosebank has been closed since 1993, so supply is fixed and Release #1 is a defined edition. For drinking value, a standard 30-year malt costs far less.
How does it compare with other Rosebank releases?
Release #1 is the first in the series and is generally the most sought after. Later releases use different casks and vintages, so flavour and secondary prices differ.
What is the alcohol strength?
48.6% ABV. That is higher than the 40% of many older bottlings, so add a little water if you want the floral Lowland notes forward.
What does it taste like?
Light and grassy Rosebank character with three decades of oak: dried fruit, citrus peel and a long, spicy finish.
What is in the box?
One glass bottle of the 30-year-old single malt. Presentation details vary by release, so check the specific listing for a tube or case.
When is it cheapest?
Prices for closed-distillery bottles tend to rise over time, so the lowest price is usually found soon after release. Compare current store prices against the recent range before buying.
