Rosebank – Flora & Fauna 12 Year Old - Wooden Box (70cl, 43.00%)

Rosebank – Flora & Fauna 12 Year Old - Wooden Box is a single malt whisky from Rosebank (Lowland). Aged 12 years, bottled at 43.00% ABV, 70cl. This Flora & Fauna release was a repackaging of the previously circulated 12-year-old Rosebank, despite the fact an 8-year-old had been preferred by Distillers Company for its Ascot Malt Cellar range in 1982. That was the spiritual predecessor to the Classic Malts of Scotland range, Rosebank's omission from which was the end of its unique single malt brand at the time. This brief return under the Flora & Fauna banner was the last distillery bottling before its closure in 1993. The wooden-boxed versions of these single malts were produced in 1991. It should be noted that over time many of these boxes have been re-paired up with later versions of the product however. An iconic Lowland malt whisky distillery that is currently owned and operated by Ian Macleod Distillers. It developed a cult status among connoisseurs following the unpopular decision by United Distillers to close it in 1993, laying dormant for over three decades before resuming production in 2023.
