The Rosebank 1992 Diageo Special Releases 2014 is a 21-year-old single malt whisky distilled at the now-closed Lowland distillery, Rosebank, in 1992. This limited edition whisky was matured exclusively in refill American oak casks and bottled at natural cask strength, with 4,530 individually numbered bottles available worldwide. The bottler, Diageo, has ensured that this exquisite whisky was crafted to perfection, preserving the essence of the historic Rosebank distillery. The nose of this whisky is delicately fragrant, with notes of meadow flowers, oranges, earthy sawdust, lemon curd, capsicum, humus, damp earth, mushrooms, chamomile, aniseed, and lemon balm. When diluted with water, the palate becomes thicker and richer, revealing flavors of vanilla, barley sugar, ginger liqueur, lemon juice, bitter grass, raw malted barley, lemon and grapefruit syrup, plums, and a touch of spearmint. On the palate, this whisky delivers a sweet and refreshingly sharp taste, with hints of bitter lemon and an intriguing perfume in the cool finish. It is fruitier and sweeter than the 2011 release, while also being more complex and chewy. This natural cask strength single malt is excellent for those who enjoy citrus notes in their whisky. This whisky is a limited release and provides a great opportunity to compare it with the previous 25-year-old 1981 and 21-year-old 1990 releases.
