Roseisle 12 Year The Origami Kite (2023 Special Release)

Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

Reviewed October 11, 2023 (edited February 1, 2025)
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
Another 20 cl and this one I've had a bit of lol. Nose - rich oak really stands out on this one. There's this weird play of dare I say white chocolate with oak over a rich range of fruits that are struggling for their life to get out. Perhaps a lemon loaf is back there, certainly a lightly citrus note that's tamed by first fill bourbon vanilla notes. Simple, rich, and well constructed. Taste - This is just a good malt and a good set of casks. If you were to introduce a malt in it's singular form to the market, there's really no better presentation than this. It's clear Diageo is really proud of this distillery's work so far. Now this isn't outstanding or anything special. It's however such a nice malt that can very easily be blended into something as it can be finished or matured in more interesting casks to complement the malt. Slightly citrus up from, then bringing in oak tannins, vanilla. It's simple, so simple. But it's as I noted on the nose, insanely well constructed. The mix of citrus with the white chocolate and vanilla and impressively nice oak notes here are great. I'm going to give this a geek bonus and bump it to 3.0. I could go 3.25. It's not amazing, but if you like whisky you'll like this.
