The distillery, which was mothballed in 1993 and had its equipment stolen in 2009, had been the subject of much speculation over the years with stories of proposed bids to revive it from people such as Gerald Michaluk, owner of Arran Brewery, hitting the headlines before it was announced that Ian Macleod Distillers would finally resurrect the distillery that was once dubbed ‘the King of the Lowlands’ by the late whisky writer, Michael Jackson.

Now, the firm, which also owns the Glengoyne, Tamdhu and Edinburgh Gin distilleries, has released images of how the new Falkirk based production site could look.

The images show the site's famous chimney stack will remain intact, while a glass frontage will be added and the Rosebank lettering will be included on the side.
Images of how the production site will look from the canal side have also been added.
Describing Rosebank as one of the "most respected and sought after single malts in the world", Ian Macleod Distillers managing director Leonard Russell said: “This is an extraordinarily exciting project for us. To bring back to life an iconic distillery and quintessential Lowland single malt is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
