Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
it’s rather a clean Springbank, I think more in the style of the 1960s or 1970s, with a kind of sherry that’s rounded and all on raisins, chocolates and prunes. There’s also very little sulphur if any, while I came across many sherry casks that had massive amounts of sulphur at the time. So, a rather smooth, clean, jammy Springbank so far. Nice whiffs of mint and liquorice in the background, sultanas, a little rum (Demerara), Havana cigar… All very appealing
restaurant Palate
a little more disjointed, with this feeling of rotting oranges and sulphur that were to be found in several sherry casks five or ten years ago. Having said that, the rest is most pleasant, with dried figs and dates, raisins, liqueur-filled chocolate and then just a little salted liquorice. A little plastic/paraffin and lemon squash as well
timer Finish
long, a tad bitter now, and maybe a tad chemical as well (industrial orange juice – no brands needed I guess). Vegetables, red wine
