Andrew’s Tasting Note
Nose: I am immediately drawn to the fruitiness of the whisky, like opening assorted pots of jam near a peat fire; loads of decadent ripe berry fruits, honey and tarry peat oils; freshly peeled oranges and lemons too.
Palate: round, malty and fruity with more round, doughy peat oils; salty-ashy smoke and more bright berry fruits; honey, marmalade and jam on the palate with white chocolate and shortbread; the body is thick and coating.
Finish: long, honeyed and creamy; gently smoky and ashy with more berry and citrus fruits tones.
Comment: this is old school Springbank, worthy of a pilgrimage to the most traditional distillery in Scotland!
