Rosebank was mothballed in 1993 and the equipment was stolen in 2009. The spirit produced at the distillery was triple distilled, creating a light, floral style loved by many. Rosebank has since become a cult favourite amongst whisky lovers and collectors.
Enchantment is the seventh in a series of seven highly sought-after Rosebank bottlings, released annually by Elixir Distillers. It is a marriage of spirits distilled in both 1990 and 1991, matured in 75% American oak barrels and 25% Madeira hogsheads. Total worldwide outturn: 972 bottles.
Producer’s Notes:
Nose: Initially you are greeted with honeydew melon and meadow flowers along with cinnamon mixed with soft brown sugar. Over time this develops into vanilla sponge batter and strawberry juice.
Palate: Rich vanilla sponge cake with a hint of aniseed and tarragon. It builds with a luscious texture and flavours of strawberry jelly and cinnamon, with ginger spice complementing a touch of fresh mint
Finish: The floral and herbal notes create longevity, with toasted vanilla sticks and liquorice root lingering
