Rosebank (silent) Dun Eideann Whisky 8 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Pale gold with luminous straw highlights and a delicate honey-bronze edge, a sunlit, inviting glow.

Nose

Floral and fruit-forward, opening with crisp orchard notes—green apple, pear and lemon zest—softened by honeyed beeswax. Subtle barley sweetness and vanilla linger, while a gentle sherry lift adds almond warmth, spice and a touch of old-wood complexity.

Palate

Silky, light-bodied on the palate, with a waxy satin texture. Green apple and pear unfold with citrus zest, tempered by a delicate sherry sweetness that adds dried-fruit depth. Subtle almond, honey and vanilla warmth emerge, while gentle spice and oak carry through a refined finish of orchard fruits and a final whisper of cocoa.

Finish

Silky and uplifting, the finish opens with citrus zest and green apple, mellowing into honeyed malt. Subtle sherry notes bring dried fruit and almond, with whispering oak and spice lingering. The balance stays light yet persistent, yielding a refined, floral fade that coats the palate with cocoa and vanilla.
