Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
more of the same but a little toned down, although it’s even more on grains, porridge, mashed potatoes… A little vanilla coming through now, but the cask wasn’t too active it seems. It’s younger brother was probably more interesting in its flying youth
restaurant Palate
very close to the 6yo but also more unbalanced, with these rather weird notes of rotten oranges and aspirin that one can find in many recent expressions from the distillery. Chemical
timer Finish
rather long, lemony, cardboardy and with hints of cologne. Certainly not undrinkable but below par – I like the 6yo much better (which may also prove that Spirngbank’s more recent distillates are cleaner and better again (in my opinion). 68 points . Springbank 10 yo 1996 (51.5%, Exclusive Malts, cask #589, 374 bottles, 2007) David Stirk has changed his label and abandoned the flashy Scottish flag. Smart move methinks
