More bottles coming!

Matured 12 years in a Burgundy wine barrel, this limited edition Springbank was bottled at 53.5%. Only a very limited quantity is coming to Alberta.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: chocolate fudge, Dairy Queen's Peanut Buster Parfait, candied orange slices, salted caramel sauce and rum and raisin pudding; sour buckwheat pancakes with blueberry compote syrup; smoking cigars in a new leather chair. 

Palate: big, leathery and very fruity with savoury sea salt; stewed fruits and more blueberry compote syrup on sour milk buckwheat pancakes; clean cigar smoke, more new leather sofa and layers of fruit from bright orange and canned pineapple to dried cranberry and figs in honey; an element of chocolate, vanilla and nuts (my Peanut Buster Parfait).

Finish: big, long and rich; layers of fruits mingle with chocolate, leather and more clean cigar smoke.

Comment: a curious but delightful Springbank, sweet with clean smoke and beautiful Burgundy influence; the wine casks have given it a very pleasant and unique style; still identifiably Springbank, but a different style.

Producer's Tasting Note

Nose: Bold and rich with mineral and dunnage warehouse notes combining with maple syrup, pancetta, cranberry and red currants.

Palate: A soft velvet like texture with buttered brown toast and chocolate shortbread complimenting light herb & oak notes.

Finish: A medium dry finish gives up liquorice and mint accompanied woody tannins.
