Tasting Notes

Staff Tasting Notes

Nose – Very clean nose with faint spice and perhaps clover and mint. Grassy, cream & vanilla with the cream developing into Werther's Originals toffeeness after a while.

Palate – Quite spicy and warming. Treacle and toffee too.

Comments – Chewy and charming with a surprisingly big finish for a Rosebank.Tasted by Keir

Official Tasting Notes

Nose – Mild nose-feel. The soft start is soon balanced by a crisp, juicy fruit sharpness (tropical fruits, orange and tangerine peel) and sweetness (fruit sweets). Below this the sweet fruit gives way to a more delicate earthy, even floral character: lily and English rose. Water makes the aromas softer; sweet lemon fondant replaces the earthiness. Late green apple fruit and floral notes; ripe peaches in a brown paper bag.Body: Light.

Palate – At natural strength, tingling mouth-feel and good acidity; fresh, clean and drying. Mineral and tart (ripe plum skins) with faint menthol, then pleasingly charred with light pepper. Beautifully silky with a little water, when a very soft floral sweetness emerges (fruit salad and orange water) before the lemony acidity asserts itself.

Finish – Short and drying, with just an appetising hint of bitterness. Later, some red grape fruit. Softer, more gentle and rounded with water. Finally, a little late cocoa dryness.
