Rosebank | A Dram per Day

16/11/11 Rosebank 19yo (Douglas Laing)

Refill butt, cask 5700 from Rosebank, the now-defunct distillery near Falkirk. This is a Douglas Laing “Old Malt Cask” bottling.

Peaches, pineapple, toffee, chantilly cream, ginger, some subtle citrus.

Medium length of finish, drying.

Gorgeous stuff.

4/5

My Scoring System

Instead of the usual score from 100 (nose 25, palate 25, finish 25 and balance 25) my system is based purely on enjoyment levels.

1. Well, it’s whisky so I’ll drink it.

2. OK but nothing to shout about. I won’t be offended if you ask for a dram and put lemonade in it.

3. An enjoyable dram, close to being really good. Maybe one or two little things that stop greatness.

4. Fantastic stuff, right up there. A great dram with no flaws.

5. The very best I’ve ever tasted. A whisky that excels on every level, one with huge flavours but delicate balance and shows a level of complexity that you can study for hours.
