Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 12년을 보낸 옅은 볏짚빛이 잔 안에서 산뜻하게 돈다. 코끝으로 가져가면 삼중 증류한 로즈뱅크다운 들꽃과 레몬, 갓 자른 풀의 향이 섬세하게 솟는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 43도의 가볍고 부드러운 질감에 꿀과 시트러스, 옅은 바닐라가 깔끔하게 번진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 맑은 꽃향과 풀잎의 산뜻함이 혀끝에 잔잔히 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
so typically Rosebank, and so fresh after all these years in glass! Rather amazing start on marshmallows and lemon squash, notes of grapefruits and pineapple drops, maybe a little porridge (lemon-sprinkled)… Develops more on an unexpected smokiness as well as whiffs of tarmac, but always with these trademark citrusy notes. To be honest, it’s not immensely complex but this profile is beautifully ‘chiselled’, and probably a thing of the past as no obvious oak/vanilla/sherry influence is to be detected here
restaurant Palate
some OBE appearing and an obvious weakness/dryness, but the original malt still glows in the background. Lemon, something flinty, wax, grass, tonic water, green tea… But also, alas, quite some cardboard and ‘weak tea’, which are usually indications of tired bottles. Having said that, it’s still good whisky!
timer Finish
short, but the lemony notes are still there in the aftertaste, as well as a peatiness
