Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it starts extremely fruity and aromatic, with lots of fresh pineapple underlined with some fine oaky tones (toasted bread and quite some vanilla). Goes on with something distinctively milky (sugared yoghurt, fromage blanc) but then we have a fruity explosion: ripe kiwis and gooseberries, strawberries, very ripe Williams pears… Amazingly youthful at such old age. Not the most complex old Springbank on the nose but it’s really playful. It reminds me of some very old Benriachs
restaurant Palate
creamy, sweet, sort of light but certainly not weak. Lots of fruits again but also lots of tannins now, rather drying. Grape seeds, lemon zest… A certain lack of body after a while, with a rather weak middle. Quite some spices but other than that there’s not much left. The finish is a bit bolder, though, but maybe too oaky and drying – but we do have a little coconut. Too bad, as often with these old whiskies, the nose was fab but the palate doesn’t quite deliver. 84 points . Springbank 25 yo (46%, OB, 2006) A fairly new official expression
