Rosebank 21 (2014 Edition). Image courtesy Diageo.This vintage Rosebank was bottled for Diageo’s Special Releases series in 2014, and the nose is malty and complex with notes of cocoa nibs, caramel, candied orange slices, soft spices, and vanilla. The taste is fruity with mango, orange, and pineapple notes, a hint of cinnamon, and touches of barley sugar and raw coconut in the background. The finish is long with citrus fruits, a lingering touch of cinnamon, and crystallized ginger. Very nice! (May, 2018)
