- Description
- Rosebank's 1981 vintage, matured for 25 years and bottled at 61.4% ABV, demonstrates the Lowland distillery's capacity for surprising depth and power. Spice dominates the palate—white pepper and dried ginger—layered beneath polished malt sweetness and creamy cereal notes that belie the bottle's age. Full-bodied and warming, this is a complex dram that rewards patient exploration. A rare opportunity to experience a closed distillery at peak maturation.
