The Roseisle 12yo The Origami Kite is a special release from Diageo's 2023 collection, representing the first public release from the Roseisle distillery in Speyside since its opening in 2009. This exceptional single malt whisky is matured for 12 years in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon and refill casks, which perfectly capture the distillery's natural character. With an impressive ABV of 56.5%, this whisky is both complex and diverse, offering a unique addition to the Special Releases line-up.
Upon nosing, the whisky greets you with a lush and rich aroma, characterized by a light sweetness of vanilla, molasses, and cereal, complemented by fruity and nutty notes. Top notes suggest a light vanilla sponge with butter icing, while hints of ripe peach and white chocolate emerge beneath the surface.
The palate is smoothly creamy and sweet, featuring vanilla icing and stewed fruits that lead to a spicier complexity and richness. Flavor notes include dark molasses, vanilla cream, and stewed fruits, with a finish that is long and spicy, accented by a touch of white pepper. Adding a dash of water enhances the whisky's sweetness and softens its profile.
This limited release is inspired by an eclectic mix of sources from around the world, celebrating the cultural exchange of ideas. The Origami Kite label represents Roseisle's first flight, symbolizing the humble kite made of paper, wood, string, and a touch of alchemy. This bottle is not only suitable as a dessert whisky but also has the delicacy to delight even the most demanding whisky enthusiasts.
