The traditional Lowland method of triple-distillation was used at Rosebank distillery (as opposed 
to the double distillation method that is used almost everywhere in Scotland).
 
Bottles from Rosebank are in high demand, partly due to the fact the distillery was mothballed in May 1993. 
 
Aged for 20 years this Rosebank from the Rare Malts Selection was bottled in 1999. Limited edition bottle number 546, this was bottled at natural cask strength. Good labeling and very top shoulder level. A gem that shouldn't be missed by any Malthead.

90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
