Rosebank
- Scotland - 61.40%
8 Fuller than you normally get from Rosebank,but no worse for that. Highly recommended.
Rosebank 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Relatively young, but beginning to weary nonetheless. Perhaps this tiredness is caused by worry about the future. A feminine whisky that has lost the first bloom of youth. Snatch a kiss while you can.
Adelphi Rosebank 1992, 9 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.00%
8 The aroma promised much, but the palate is curiously drying. Rosebank was never peaty, and this is too young to be woody, so I don't know the origin of that harshness.
Douglas Laing Rosebank 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 A straightforward refreshing dram. To be sipped on a summer afternoon. I would easily drop one or two ice cubes in my glass.
Lombard Rosebank 1989
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
8 A good example. Such a love potion, from a distillery that no one loved enough to keep alive.
Murray McDavid Rosebank 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
6 Rosebank is a delicate whisky, but just a touch more wood-extract would hold together its flavours.
Rare Malts Rosebank 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.30%
8 This is how Lowlanders used to be: drier, more herbal, more complex. Buy now, while stocks last.
Signatory Rosebank 1989
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
6 With its curiously greeny-white colour, this one actually looks like a ghost. A shadow of a great malt.
The Wee Dram Rosebank 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Once a vamp. Now a trouper. She is a little astringent, but I am blind to her faults. I could fall for her all over again.
