Rosebank (silent) Closed Distilleries Whisky 19 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a delicate coppery edge.

Nose

Elegant and floral, this Rosebank expresses citrus blossom and green orchard fruits—pear and gooseberry—brightened by a refined sherry perfume of raisins and dried apricot. Beeswax, almond, and a touch of toasted oak weave a waxy, creamy richness, with a delicate spice sheen that hints at quiet, persistent depth.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and distinctly waxy on the tongue, this palate unfurls a sherried sweetness of fig, date and raisin, brightened by orange zest and crisp green apple. Spice notes—clove, cinnamon, white pepper—linger with toasted almond, cocoa, and a trace of leather. The high ABV drives a warming finish that repeats the fruit and spice, ending long with oak and a whisper of florals.

Finish

Silky and long, the finish opens with orchard fruit and citrus, slowly giving way to warm sherry and a honeyed sweetness. Raisin, almond and waxy notes linger, while spice and cocoa weave through a refined oak-driven finale, leaving a soft rose-petal lift that lingers on the palate.
