Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

makes you want to find some spare £1,675.00. It’s dry, it’s orangey, it’s definitely oily and mineral and it’s absolutely Springbank. Complex touches of cow stable, orange zests, camphor, motor oil, cinchona, cigar smoke, plain cigars, sugar cane, gingerbread, crème de menthe, damp earth, old wine cellar… I guess that’s what some may call a ’multi-layered malt’! With water: extraordinary now. Gamy, leathery, spicy and even more Habano-like. I mean, an unlit Lusitania from an old well-kept cabinet (whatever!)

restaurant Palate

ho-ho-ho-ho, this is so unusual… To be honest, it’s more Longrow than Springbank at this stage, because there’s quite some peat wrestling with the unusual fruitiness that should come from the Port, between black cherries, blood oranges and cranberries. Superb development on bitter oranges and nutmeg. Wow. With water: please call the anti-maltoporn brigade! In fact, it’s rather less complex than on the nose but these smoky oranges are perfect

timer Finish

long, quite rich and perfect
