The Rosebank 1990 Release One is a 30-year-old single malt whisky, distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2020. This exceptional whisky exemplifies Rosebank's renowned smooth character, a hallmark of its rich heritage dating back to 1840. With only 4,350 bottles available, this release is truly a collector's item. The distillery, located in Falkirk and famously dubbed 'The King of the Lowlands,' has made a triumphant return under the revival efforts of Ian Macleod Distillers since 2017. This particular whisky was matured in refill sherry butts and bourbon hogsheads, triple distilled, and bottled at 48.6% ABV without chill filtration. On the nose, one encounters creamy floral notes, caramel wafer, and fresh citrus, setting the stage for a delicate and crisp palate. The balance of oak spice and a lingering finish of violet, orange, and gentle mint complete the sensory experience. The aroma promises a rich and complex bouquet of sweet pineapple, candied ginger, lemon, marzipan, white pepper, and caffe latte. The nose is as elegant as you'll likely ever find on a single malt, with vibrant citrus notes, orange zest, watermelon, peach, nectarine, and grapefruit, underpinned by sweet pastry, buttery Chardonnay, and subtle charred oak. The taste is creamy and buttery, with elegant fruits like nectarines, ripe apples, and apricots, complemented by candied almonds and a hint of hidden smoke. Notes of Port-stewed pears, cinnamon, cloves, and oranges enrich the palate, leading to a finish characterized by lingering fruits and soft spices. This release marks the first in a series of bottlings transitioning to the new spirit from the revived stills. Presented in a beautiful wooden cylinder with copper banding, it is a must-have for whisky enthusiasts.
