[Very Good] This Rosebank 1974, aged for 30 years in a sherry cask, was bottled by Douglas Laing for the Whisky Fair in Limburg in 2004. At the time, it was a topic of discussion as a rare long-aged Rosebank in a sherry cask. While the house style is not particularly noticeable, it had a rich and diverse aroma from high-quality 1970s sherry cask aging. The fragrance reminiscent of grape juice, the concentrated sweetness of jam-like flavors with good astringency, depth and rich, fragrant taste, making it an extremely complex and rich Rosebank. Even now, I think Douglas Laing did well to provide such a cask to Germany at that timing.
