271
A 22 year old single cask from Mackillop's distilled at the celebrated Rosebank distillery. Rosebank is of course a closed distillery in the lowlands whose whisky was triple distilled. Founded in 1798 and mothballed, never to reopen in 1993, this Falkirk distillery is extremely sought after. This bottling at natural cask strength was distilled in January 1991 and bottled in April 2013 after maturation in cask 271.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
Fairly sherried and spicy, this nonetheless has notes of geranium, honeysuckle and a herbaceous side also.
Sichuan pepper, allspice, anise and more of those aromatic green notes.
Drying oak, clove, just a touch of lavender.
More robust than you might expect from this distillery but quite delicious and complex.
