Rosebank 1990–2014 23/24 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail Rare Old (46% ABV, 70cl)

Rosebank 1990–2014 (Gordon & MacPhail Rare Old) is a beautifully mature Lowland single malt from one of Scotland’s most collectable closed distilleries. Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail at 46% ABV for the Rare Old series (non-chill filtered), it captures Rosebank right in its sweet spot: bright, fruit-led spirit with a notably creamy, generous texture. Matured in a combination of refill sherry and ex-bourbon hogsheads, it’s the kind of early-1990s Rosebank that keeps getting harder to replace—and tends to be a “buy it when you see it” bottle for both drinkers and collectors.
