Tasting Notes

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
