Rosebank Distillery
"The finest example of a Lowland malt...a grievous loss"  Michael Jackson's Malt Whisky Companion

Built by James Rankine on the banks of the Forth-Clyde canal between Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1840 (although distilling is said to have been carried out on the site since the late 18th century), Rosebank became a limited company in 1894 and in 1914 was one of the founding members of the Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd (later to be taken over by DCL in 1929).

Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes by whisky-distilleries.info

1. A beautiful and very fresh fruity nose with hints of pear and citrus fruit (tangerine). Very pleasant with hints of wax. First impression is freshness and acidity, but after a while the nose gets smoother and develops nicely on floral hints. Some honey too. Impressive.

An amazingly complex mouth, starting on citrus notes developing on green apple before going on on ripe apple hints. Some alcohol presence at the end and a discreet nutty bitterness. Impressing.

The finish prolongs exactly the mouth, but the bitter notes are nicely merged with the citrus. Lingering and fresh. An excellent whisky. 18/20

2. A nice and fresh smell of hay, farm, some citrus notes and hints of smoke or wax on the background. The nose is complex, and hints of malt and yeast complete the first impressions.

The mouth is rather fresh too, dominated by citrus, a kind of acidity thus, and pleasant notes of fruit and malt together with a very discreet bitterness increasing the pleasant character of this whisky.

The finish is pleasant, fresh too and the bitter notes are slightly more present than they were at the nose or in the mouth. But the citrus notes keep dominating. 18/20

Tasting Notes by TF

Nose:  Light and perfumed.  Slightly volatile, with fruit esters: peach and apricot initially, then pear and apple.  Some grassy notes developing to heather eventually.

Palate:  Medium-bodied.  Exotic fruit attack, with the apricot and peach most evident, alongside some honey. Floral, with some welcome spices.  Water reveals some citrus and ginger flavours.

Finish: Warm and quite dry with good length, lingering fruit and spice and some more savoury notes coming through.

Comment:  Very pleasant dram, if slightly volatile.  A thoroughbred nonetheless. At its best with a tiny drop of water to smooth out the edges.  Our first bottling of Rosebank was similar and settled down beautifully after a few months in bottle.
