Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
It does feel like we’re nosing an old wine loft. Lots of grape must, salinity, engine grease, plasticine, wet rocks, sheep wool, pollen and dry roasted nuts. Big, classical Springbank that also shows aspects of soot, lemon rind, tiger balm and - indeed - some rather old dry Madeira! Pretty superb
restaurant Palate
the madeira adds a dry, salty and leathery edge. Underneath there’s some pretty deep, fatty earthy qualities. Turmeric, orange peel, some very old Calvados and roasted pistachios. Garden fruits glazed with golden syrup alongside, Somerset ice cider, waxes and hessian cloth. Unusual yet very good. Different yet very much still Springbank
timer Finish
long, leathery and very meaty with notes of various stocks and cured meats. Gets a tad dirtier in the aftertaste but it’s more along natural lines than artificial
