25.47 translates as the 47th bottling of Rosebank from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
It's 19yrs matured in an ex-bourbon cask.
It's not as sweet as I was expecting but it has that light, fruity aroma that you would expect from a lowland whisky, you can taste the fruits - pineapple, mango - and it has a honey smoothness with a dash of spice in the finish.
Probably not as good as last years bottling which was 16yrs if I remember correctly but nevertheless a welcome addition to the Christmas drinks cabinet.
