Rosebank (silent) The Single Malts of Scotland Whisky 17 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery highlights and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

A delicate, perfumed bouquet of white florals and orchard fruit—green apple, pear, lemon zest—lifted by a waxy, honeyed sheen. A gentle sherry echo adds almond paste, dried citrus, and a whisper of cocoa, with soft spice and a mineral freshness that keeps the nose bright and refined.

Palate

Silky and poised on the palate, it unfolds with refined sweetness and lifting freshness. Green-apple and pear drift with honeyed citrus, supported by delicate floral whispers. Sherry-cask maturity emerges as dried apricot, fig and almond, with a touch of warm toffee and cocoa. Fine spice and mineral lift keep it bright, finishing long, elegant, and subtly orange-zested, leaving a clean, polished sweetness.

Finish

An elegant, long finish that softly coats the palate. Orchard fruit and citrus peel mingle with warm sherry spice, revealing a silky waxiness. A delicate almond-nut dryness lingers, with faint cocoa and leather notes fading into a refined, persistent afterglow.
