Rosebank (silent) Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 22 Year Old · 1981 Vintage

Colour

Pale gold with a delicate honey glow, sunlit straw brightness and a subtle amber halo at the rim.

Nose

A perfumed bouquet of green apple and pear, lifted by lemon zest and honeysuckle. Waxy malt, honeyed notes and almond underpin the core, while sherry-cask nuance adds fig and raisin with a subtle oak-spice echo.

Palate

Silky, waxy on the palate, with orchard fruit brightness—green apple and pear—bolstered by citrus zest. The sherry cask influence delivers dried fig, raisin, and a touch of cocoa, tempered by almond and honey. Rich yet poised, it glides with warmth, finishing long with spice and refined oak.

Finish

An enduring, satin finish of rich dried fruits, orange zest and cocoa, with subtle clove and nutmeg spice. Polished oak and a honeyed warmth slowly fade, leaving a refined, lingering sweetness.
