Duncan Taylor Whisky Galore Rosebank 1990 (13 year old) 46%
Re-fill Sherry Cask 3418/ Dist: 1990 Btl: 2004/ Tasted: Mar 2006
A lovely summer-gold colour in the glass. Soft citrus/ grassy fruit aromas spring from the glass delightfully set against a delicate sherry fruit background, which develops a beguiling candied fruit sweetness. Dry and fairly light in body with initially quite a salty note which is followed by waves of lavishly spiced citrus fruit and a burst of cinnamon coated apples on the middle. This descends into a delicious fruit cocktail with a touch of light syrup and a dusting of icing sugar. Very long and very good.
Duncan Taylor Whisky Galore Rosebank 1993 (15 year old) 46%
Bourbon Cask/ Dist: 1993 Btl: 2008/ Tasted: Sept 2008
Exceedingly perfumed nose, dominated by the vanilla oak – It’s very good oak though! Good intensity with hints of flowers and earth. The palate opens with a wave of quiet sweet apricot and a hint of marc-like rose petals but tails off a bit. Quiet delicate, crisp and quiet salty finish.
