Rosebank 17 yo 1990/2007 Cask Strength

From the cask, the Whisky Exchange
Single malt - Lowlands
Straw gold
55.2% ABV
Mini

Nose: Spring grass, lemons, fresh orange juice, not the peel. Rhubarb and custard sweets. Slightly medicinal from the high ABV.
Mouthfeel: Light body. Evaporates quickly. Like getting poked in the mouth.
Tasting: Salty sweet. Jam doughnuts, lemon curd on toast. Magic marker and pear drop lurking underneath.
Finish: Medium length and warm. Something sweet and spicy, like mulled wine (although that's not very summery). Fades to sweet.

Comments:

This is identical to a whisky sold by Specialty Drinks Ltd as part of their Single Malts of Scotland range (Rosebank 16 yo 1990/2007) but at cask strength of course. I bought this from the sales cask at the Whisky Exchange. First taste of Rosebank, and I really enjoy the light, summery, "brassy" character.

Verdict:

I like this a lot!
