Nose: A lifted, perfumed, slightly floral nose. Intense. Lemon sherbet.
Palate: Very light and sweet all the way. Like drinking a meadow. All very delicate and almost fragile. A sweet, pure, lemon-like quality.
Finish: Sweet.
Comment: Ethereal. It seems to fill the mouth with perfume.
Score: 7.8
Taster
Nose: Dryish, floral, camomile, buttercups. Typical Rosebank.
Palate: Lightly creamy. A nectar of flower petals. A love potion from a Shakespeare play.
Finish: Drier again. Herbal. Tickling. Arousing, appetising.
Comment: A good example. Such a love potion, from a distillery that no one loved enough to keep alive.
Score: 8.3
