For over a decade, the massive Roseisle distillery was Scotland's best-kept secret, producing spirit exclusively for the world's most famous blends. Now, it has stepped out of the shadows with only its second-ever official bottling. The Roseisle 12 Year Old Special Release 2024, affectionately known as the Origami Kite II, is a masterclass in modern whisky making. Bottled at a natural Cask Strength of 55.6%, this expression showcases the true potential of the distillery. By maturing the spirit in a carefully chosen combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels and refill casks, the distillers have created a remarkably smooth and creamy Speyside single malt. You do not need to be a whisky expert to appreciate what is inside this bottle. It opens with an incredibly inviting aroma of sweet vanilla and freshly baked pastries. On the palate, expect a rich burst of ripe orchard fruit, a generous layer of white chocolate, and just a hint of warming baking spice to keep things interesting. The finish is beautifully long and satisfying, proving that technical precision can still create a dram with immense soul.
