Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
there are obvious similarities indeed although this is rather less citrusy (but it is citrusy) and rather grassier. Very nice notes of chives, dill, grass and then damp chalk, clay… Lime? In short, where the Lochside was lush, this is more austere and kind of restrained so far. With water: that unleashed more lemony notes as well as this wee smokiness that’s sometimes to be found in older Rosebanks (rather coal smoke). Rather more porridge as well
restaurant Palate
we’re much, much closer to the Lochside now. It’s one of these perfect citrusy Rosebanks on the palate, nervous, extremely fresh despite its age, with bags of lemons, tangerines, oranges, citrons… So rather in the style of the well-known old official 20yo ‘white label’. Fab. With water: perfect. Candied citrus fruits and all of them. Funny that it’s almost the same whisky as the Lochside now – but that’s also why I had decided to try those together
timer Finish
long, sharp, clean, fresh, citrusy. In short, ultra-classic
