Hello Fellow Scotch Lovers –

My guess is many of you are familiar with Citizen Kane, the 1941 film directed by and starring Orson Welles, that examines the life and legacy of newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane and the research of a newsreel reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the magnate’s dying word: “Rosebud.”

Any by now I’m confident that even more of you are familiar with Citizen Neck, the story of the relentless pursuits, shrewd business dealings and global triumphs of whisky magnet Nicky “The Neck”, who just yesterday was heard whispering the word “Rosebank” into his mobile phone from some far-away warehouse.

That’s right my friends…”Rosebank“….as in Rosebank 21 Year Old 1990 Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

For those of you unfamiliar with Rosebank, fear not, you’re not alone.

The Rosebank distillery was built in 1840 for James Rankine, a local merchant, on the waterside site of a former brewery near Falkirk in Scotland. It is one of the very few mainland distilleries that reached its markets by water (the Forth-Clyde Canal), and is highly regarded by Lowland malt enthusiasts. Tragically the Rosebank distillery was closed in 1993.

Fortunately for us, thanks to those relentless pursuits, shrewd business dealings and global triumphs of our man The Neck, I am thrilled to be able to offer you access to a bottle of Rosebank 21 Year Old 1990. The 53.8%ABV whisky is a triple distilled, natural cask strength whisky that was aged in refill American oak and refill European oak casks. This is a very rare bottling of some of the oldest stocks now held by the original distillers, with only 5,604 numbered bottles worldwide.

The price for a bottle of Rosebank 21YO 1990 is $289 We have an extremely limited supply and, as always, once it’s gone, its gone. So please, order your bottle now (limit 2-bottles per customer).

I hope you will take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to acquire this collectable rare whisky.

Until next Wednesday…keep those cards and letters coming!

ROSEBANK 21 YO 1990 LOWLAND SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

___________________________________________________

ROSEBANK 21 YO 1990 DISTILLERS TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Pale gold. Moderate beading, very clear.

NOSE: Mild nose-feel. The soft start is soon balanced by a crisp, juicy fruit sharpness (tropical fruits, orange and tangerine peel) and sweetness (fruit sweets). Below this the sweet fruit gives way to a more delicate earthy, even floral character: lily and English rose. Water makes the aromas softer; sweet lemon fondant replaces the earthiness. Late green apple fruit and floral notes; ripe peaches in a brown paper bag.

BODY: Light.

PALATE: At natural strength, tingling mouth-feel and good acidity; fresh, clean and drying. Mineral and tart (ripe plum skins) with faint menthol, then pleasingly charred with light pepper. Beautifully silky with a little water, when a very soft floral sweetness emerges (fruit salad and orange water) before the lemony acidity asserts itself.

FINISH: Short and drying, with just an appetising hint of bitterness. Later, some red grape fruit. Softer, more gentle and rounded with water. Finally, a little late cocoa dryness.
