"An independent, family-owned company, the originally monikered Ian Macleod & Company Ltd was established in 1933. IN 1936, Leonard Russell Sr. founded his own whisky broking company, and by 1963, the Russell family acquired Ian Macleod. Since the Russells have taken over, the brand has revived mothballed but iconic whiskies, launched a few new brands and made several acquisitions, including Isle of Skye (1963), King Robert (1968), Watson's Rum (1996), Glengoyne (2003), Tamdhu (2011), Spencerfield Spirits (2016) - which includes Edinburgh Gin -"
""The spirit plays a big role for us," says Neil Bulloch, distillery manager for Rosebank. "While it's the cask for Tamdhu, we're spirit-driven." That's not entirely true, as casks play an important role for this iconic distillery, which originally launched in 1840 in Falkirk beside the Forth & Clyde canal (which connects Edinburgh and Glasgow). While a lot of the glamour and romance of Scotch is geared toward the Scottish Highlands, Rosebank earned its rightful reputation as the "King of the Lowlands.""
Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd is an independent, family-owned Scotch and gin company established in 1933 and acquired by the Russell family in 1963. The company revived mothballed iconic whiskies, launched new brands and acquired Isle of Skye, King Robert, Watson's Rum, Glengoyne, Tamdhu, Spencerfield Spirits (including Edinburgh Gin) and Rosebank. A selection of five whiskies and one gin represent the company's core modern offerings. Rosebank, a triple-distilled Lowlands malt founded in 1840 beside the Forth & Clyde canal, was primarily used in blends, closed in 1993 and suffered theft of its stills.
