Strictly 1 per customer!
This 2019 edition of Springbank 25 Year has been matured in both Ex-Bourbon and Ex-Sherry, and it is rocking a 92+ score on Whisky Base!
Producer Description: "The new Springbank 25yo has been matured in 50% Bourbon casks and 50% Sherry casks and the ABV is 46%."
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Initially parma violets and rhubarb custard creams. A fresh spritz of grapefruit followed by a malty honeycomb sweetness.
Palate: Maturity and complexity at its best. A rich and chewy palate with vanilla, fudge, tobacco and cured meats.
Finish: Oh yes, it's definitely a true Springbank with those coastal and earthy dunnage warehouse notes combining with honey glazed ham and waxy orange rind at the very end.
Andrew's Tasting Note- 2016 Edition
Nose: lots of dried fruits: apricot, apples and pineapple chunks; caramel chews, salt water taffy and candied fruits; jujubes and touches of moist, light Christmas cake; a touch of clean smoke and salt.
Palate: sweet, silky, fruity and honeyed; vanilla bean with jujubes and lots of fruit: both fresh and dried, leaning towards stone and orchard varietals; there is a touch of sherry-influenced Christmas cake; the smoke and salty maritime tones are subtle and elegant; bergamot earl grey tea, caramel chews and Panda brand licorice.
Finish: long with loads of fruits, cream and spices; more gentle elegant smoke and maritime tones.
Comment: brilliant, I have a slight preference for this over the 21 year Batch 15/52; I also compared it to an older 2014 edition of the 25 year: while the older bottling is lovely, this current release is more tropical, fruity and elegant.
