Rosebank (silent) 150th Anniversary Whisky 11 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Pale gold with luminous straw-yellow highlights and a subtle touch of warm amber.

Nose

Elegant floral and orchard-fruit aromas with citrus zest and honey. Sherry whispers through red cherry, raisin and fig, balanced by toasted almond, spice, and polished oak. A mineral lift keeps it buoyant, finishing in a perfumed, creamy note that hints at Rosebank’s delicate richness and its vibrant strength.

Palate

Silky and surprisingly lush, this 11-year-old Rosebank coats the palate with orchard fruit—green apple and pear—and a citrus lift, tempered by delicate heather and waxy notes. Sherry cask influence introduces dark fruit, raisins, fig, and a cocoa-tinted depth, all wrapped in a creamy mantle. A warm, mouth-coating finish with elegant spice lingers long and refined.

Finish

Rich, lingering finish of sherry influence—dark cherry, orange zest, and cocoa nibs unfold beneath a velvety veneer of warming spice. The long fade remains refined and quietly persistent, sealing Rosebank's rare, elegant character.
