ROSEBANK 1990 Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky |
||||||
The Whisky Society is a range of premium whiskies that showcases the very best single malt whiskies from our stock of maturing casks. These whiskies are exceptional and each single cask bottling is unrepeatable – the kind of quality necessary to qualify a malt for the Whisky Society is in very short supply. |

Another excellent expression of Rosebank, the classic Lowland distillery closed in 1993. Bursting with juicy citrus flavours and grassy notes in the archetypal Lowland style. |
|||||||
 |
TASTING NOTES Nose: Fresh and very citrussy (lemon, grapefruit); unripe green apples. Faint hints of sweetpea and pastry dough emerge. Needs time - becomes pleasantly grassy once the initial alcohol prickle has died away. Water lifts the grass and grapefruit and reveals a hint of melon. Palate: Very meadowy, with tart lemon flavours couterpointed by a honeysuckle sweetness; powerful alcoholic warmth with an oaky undertone in the background. Water rounds out and emphasises the citrus notes. Finish: Medium length with tingling citrus, wood and some peppery spice. Comment: Another terrific bottling from the most-missed of the lost Lowland distilleries. |

We have created the Whisky Society to share our passion for superb single malts – the best things in life are even better shared - but only a select few will be lucky enough to appreciate these whiskies with us. A tiny handful of the hundreds of casks we taste each year will be selected for bottling and these releases will normally only be available through this website. There are no membership fees, house rules, general meetings or secret handshakes at the Whisky Society – your bottle of our malt makes you part of a fraternity of discerning malt-lovers who enjoy savouring a special whisky. The Whisky Society label is our guarantee that the malt inside these bottles represents the very highest quality. We believe these whiskies to be superlative expressions of their respective distilleries and that they will delight aficionados and connoisseurs of outstanding single malt whisky.
