Tasting Notes

Colour

Straw

air Nose

Glistening green and white fruits, wild flowers, barley sugar, hessian, seashore, wax and dried seaweed. An almost crystalline and perfect example of old school Springbank. These wonderfully precise and chiselled notes of wet rocks, minerals, sheep fanks, cow sheds and lemongrass. A tour de force for purity and distillate driven malt whisky. With water: it doesn’t seem to change too much, we’re still in this rather explosive spectrum of waxes, minerals, very light peat smoke, citrons, farmyard and coal hearths

restaurant Palate

Lemons, ashes, BBQ liquid smoke, lychee, a whole seashore of minerals, wet beach pebbles, sand, a stray kipper, olive oil, cut grass, wax and paraffin. Lets cut to the water... with water: again water seems to not make a massive difference. Here it kind of widens and softens everything slightly so there is a kind of melting effect between the various flavours and characteristics. A majestic mix of mineral, citrus, wax and background peat flavours. Totally magnificent whisky!

timer Finish

Long, drying, full of barley sugar, lemon peel, a little ointment, some herbal toothpaste, bandages and soot. White flowers and assorted fruits
