Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale golden straw with a delicate amber glow at the rim.
Nose
Delicate, perfumed and floral, with white blossoms and fresh orchard fruit. Crisp apples and pears mingle with lemon zest and a whisper of honey. Waxy vanilla and light oak frame a refined bouquet, while faint heather and a subtle mineral lift add an airy, elegant brightness characteristic of this Lowland classic.
Palate
Elegant and light-midweight on the palate, Rosebank delivers bright orchard fruit—green apple, pear—with lemon zest and a touch of honey. Floral, perfumed notes stay buoyant, while soft malt adds creaminess. The sherry cask nuance appears as dried orange peel and almond, paving a gentle spice that lingers into a silky, citrus-tinted finish.
Finish
Delicate and lingering, the finish unfurls with citrus zest and floral honey, speckled by almond and faint dried-fruit notes from the sherry. A gentle spice swirls in, then a silky cocoa-tinted whisper coats the palate, fading to a clean, refined finish that lingers softly.
