Agree again with TF - the richness is a pleasant suprise for a Rosebank, especially as it doesn't detract from the character Posted By: DanAir

Tasting Notes by TF

Nose:  Marmalade and orange blossom at first, then pear & spicy pineapple, plum duff.  Spice-wise, we have ginger, clove and a peppery edge.  Some dry hay, then pleasant pot-pourri and earthy notes which become more prominent with water, whence they are joined by a not unpleasant tweediness.

Palate:  Medium-full (heavier than I expected) with gorgeous dried orange peel and other sweet orangey flavours dominating, though underpinned by the other flavours from the nose, with heather and a healthy dash of peppery spices.  Impressive intensity and staying power.  Luscious texture and weight.  Becomes herby and honeyed with water.

Finish:  Long, warming and spicy. 

Comment:  I've enjoyed all of our Rosebank bottlings, but for me this is probably the best we've done.  Water doesn't spoil it, but it's best as Nature intended.  A hugely enjoyable dram.

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).
