Description
Situated on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal close to the River Carron, the distillery has the advantage of being near the main road and a coalfield thus enabling it to have cheaply transported fuel. The main reason this site was chosen for a distillery as early as 1817 was because of the inexhaustible supply of water from the Glenbirnie rivulet, a tributary of the River Carron.
Like other Lowland distilleries Rosebank operated triple distillation process. It was rebuilt in a modern form in the 1800s and comprises two ranges of buildings divided by the canal. The distillery closed in 1993.
