The
Rosebank distillery is settled on the banks of the Forth-Clyde
canal near Falkirk and is mothballed since 1993.
It is a former malting called Camolon which was purchased by DCL
(Distillers Company Ltd) in 1914.
Considered as the best of all
Lowlands malts by some specialists, Rosebank is still available
in cask strength version in the collection "Rare Malts".
Independent bottlers have put several versions on the market.

Nose
Floral and fruity. Bluebells. Pears poached in vanilla syrup. Exotic wood. Toasted
bread.
Palate
Flowery. Chocolate toffee. Coconut. Burnt cream. Sandalwood.
Finish
Quite delicate, crisp and dry, vanishing on a bitter note. Walnut peel.
Comment
An attractive medium-bodied Rosebank. The sherry finish has added complexity
to delicacy. Some exotic notes which makes it really appetising.

Colour
deep yellow with orange glints
The nose is powerful, marked by nice floral notes (lilac) and a
vegetal character (fresh grass). After aeration, it developes on
pear and on some delicate notes of vanilla.
The palate is rich and voluptuous, and develops on malted barley
on a slightly acid background. It is elegant and fruity (medlar,
quince) on a light woody background.
The finis is lingering and recalls the fruits, the vanilla and fresh
grass. Subtle chocolate hints.

An amazing nose. Freshness and character; It evokes the smell of orange juice. Cut grass and a whiff of smoke with very nice citrus notes make this nose quite entrancing, as it is very pleasant and extroardinary unusual. In the palate, the effect is simply great. Some orange juice too, nicely peated and chocolate notes. NIce balanced and rather complex with a large taste palette, from orange to chocolate. The finish is pleasant, with first some leather hints, and the citrus freshness again. Really an amazing whisky for its originality, and an excellent one for its quality. |
