Rosebank "The Roses" 21Year Fascination

Tasting Notes

Tasting Note by Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

Nose: Candied citrus peel, zingy fresh lemon, yeasty rye bread, and crunchy barley sugar. Sweet-shop notes of white chocolate mice, sherbet pips, and mint fondant develop, along with a background of vanilla cream, toffee, and butter icing.

Palate: The sweet icing notes lead, with white chocolate, crispy sugared almonds, and lemon cream following. Gentle oak spice notes develop with a touch of anise and sour apple skin. The sweetness builds again, with mint fondant and barley sugar joined by light, creamy, custard notes.

Finish: Oak spice, cooling mint, and sweet cream. Aniseed heat builds before dying back to reveal polished oak.
