Description

A sublime 21 year old Rosebank, bottled for Diageo's Special Releases. There are just 5,604 numbered bottles worldwide, and we expect them to sell out very fast. This was aged in refill American oak and refill European oak casks.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Nose

An intensely floral nose, with huge notes of Parma violets, rose petals and just a hint of lavender. There’s also just a touch of bicarbonate of soda (not a bad thing) alongside oodles of sweetness.

Palate

Just as the nose suggests, those Parma violet notes take the fore. There’s some rather pleasing notes of bramble leaves, toffee apple and cranberry, as well as a little kiwi and pine sap.

Finish

It finishes beautifully with potpourri, liquorice, lemon sherbet and (and this really is going to sound bad, but it’s really not a bad thing, honest)… …detergent. It was difficult to even type that, but there genuinely is just a hint of it, and it’s very, very interesting.

Overall

One of the most floral Rosebanks ever released, and that’s saying something.

Lemon zest city!

And a mildly bitter yet full flavoured experience. Unique set of flavours - shame all the Rosebank will be gone soon...
