Rosebank has reopened after a nearly 3 decade slumber, but it will accordingly be three decades until any of that production is this old! Only 1 bottle coming to KWM. Bottled at 47.6%, and 32 years of age, this is the 3rd and final release in the Legacy Series. 90pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"The third and final edition in Rosebank’s first global series of legacy releases is a crescendo in our renowned distillery’s rich, fruity, and floral house style - a worthy celebration of the revival of our irrepressible spirit! This is the crescendo in the first series of releases, and composed from a carefully selected range of casks from the small quantity we have from before the distillery’s closure in 1993."

"Rosebank 32 yo ‘Release 3’ (47.6%, OB, 2023) [Five stars] It’s said this whisky was composed from the final three years of production before the distillery’s closure in 1993. This is the last bottling of what we could call a ‘transitional’ series. Colour: straw. Nose: there’s a clear sense of its lineage—it’s triple-distilled, yet with no hint of excessive lightness. This time, there’s a subtle note of aniseed and menthol, almost reminiscent of absinthe, adding to some slightly underripe bananas and faint touches of fresh paint (you can pick the colour). Almond milk as well. Mouth: superb herbal tension, with grape stalks and pips again, a dash of Sriracha sauce, pepper, green apples, equally green pears, and a hint of sour cherries. It unfolds much like the Littlemill—it’s amusing, really—but with just a touch more suppleness, although it still retains that razor-sharp edge. Finish: very long, very lemony, and herbaceous. It brings to mind those legendary Rare Malts. Comments: yes, the Rare Malts indeed. I rather like the somewhat Calvinist austerity of these malts, if I may say so.
SGP: 571 - 90 points."

Producer Description
"Enchantment is the seventh in a series of seven highly sought-after Rosebank bottlings, released annually by Elixir Distillers. It is a marriage of spirits distilled in both 1990 and 1991, matured in 75% American oak barrels and 25% Madeira hogsheads.
The casks used for the Roses series were among the last held by an independent company. Each bottling in the series represents a different character of Rosebank, bringing together casks with different styles to demonstrate this lost distillery’s wonderful diversity.
Rosebank was mothballed in 1993 and the equipment was stolen in 2009. The spirit produced at the distillery was triple distilled, creating a light, floral style loved by many. Rosebank has since become a cult favourite amongst whisky lovers and collectors."
